In light of ISIS’s coordinated attack on Paris that left at least 120 people dead, CBS has moved to hold off on airing “How Does She Do It,” the terrorism-themed episode of Supergirl that was scheduled to premiere tonight.

The episode would have seen Supergirl protecting National City from multiple bombings while also attempting to successfully babysit her boss’s son. In a showing of “sensitivity and respect to the events that occurred,” CBS will instead be airing “Livewire,” a Thanksgiving-themed episode.

The network has also axed an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles that centered around ISIS recruiting young women.
