NCIS agent Timothy McGee has been dating Delilah for a while now, but will she be back for season 12? It seems after Tuesday night's episode the couple will stay together for the long run.

"They've got a decision to make," executive producer Gary Glasberg recently told TVLine. "And then we'll have to see where that takes us moving into Season 12."

On Tuesday night's episode, McGee told Delilah that DiNozzo informed him about the job in Dubai. He encouraged her to take it if the opportunity is one she really wants. Delilah responded that she'd only accept the offer if their relationship would survive the long distance. McGee then gave her a spare key to his apartment. This means fans will get to see the couple next season too.

The relationship between McGee and Delilah hasn't been an easy one. In a January episode, McGee's new girlfriend was hurt by a bomb that exploded at a gala, as the team searched arduously for terrorist Benham Parsa. Delilah later had to undergo two surgeries in order to save her life.

In an emotional moment, McGee admitted to Leroy Jethro Gibbs that he wasn't sure how to speak to Delilah after the devastating incident, which left her paralyzed. Gibbs offered McGee some advice and said that honesty was the best policy. Despite his uncertainty at the time, McGee decided to stay with his lady.

Glasberg previously spoke about the relationship between the two and said it was an aspect of season 11 he was particularly looking forward to.

"That's a relationship that we're having some fun with, and we've got some plans in store," he told Entertainment Weekly last October. "I'm excited about it, actually."
