Production

The episode is written by John Kelley and directed by James Whitmore, Jr. "Grace Period" refer to earlier deaths of NCIS agents. Gibbs told DiNozzo "it could have been us every single day and week, and sometimes it has", as shown in the episode "Twilight" when NCIS special agent Kate Todd is shot dead.

The reason why Cassidy's team had the weekend duty, not Gibbs' as it originally was intended to be, is explained by Weatherly to be because Gibbs wanted to spend some quality time with Hollis Mann instead, as shown in the start of the episode. Together with the focus on dead NCIS agents, the thought about being the one themselves is another big part of the episode.

According to Michael Weatherly, who portrays NCIS Special agent Tony DiNozzo, it takes about 9 days to shoot an episode like "Grace Period".

Three characters are recurring in the episode: Scottie Thompson as Jeanne Benoit, Susanna Thompson as Army Lt. Col. Mann and Jessica Steen as Paula Cassidy. Cassidy was last seen in season 3 episode "Mind Games", while Benoit and Mann has been in numerous episodes in season 4.
