context_section_description: "Hereafter" was written by Nicole Mirante-Matthews and directed by Tony Wharmby. The tenth season's theme "Fallen Heroes" has hit both Ziva and Vance hard. According to Mirante-Matthews, in this episode Leon Vance's process to "come back stronger than before" begins. Rocky Carroll, who portrays Leon Vance, told TV Guide that "[Vance] thought he knew everything about his wife and then finds out that she was basically keeping an aspect of herself from her husband". The "recovery and rebirth" of the character is connected to the same experience Gibbs had with his wife Shannon, making Gibbs "pull [Vance] back from [the] brink" after questioning his wife's intentions. The death of Jackie is "going to give [Vance] a much deeper understanding about Gibbs and what Gibbs has experienced and how he has lived his life since losing his family", Carroll continued.
