"Friend" (「友達」 "Tomodachi"?) is the 14th episode of the Death Note TV series, aired on January 16, 2007 in Japan.
After Light introduces Misa to Ryuk, the two discuss their plan to entrap and kill L. Light comes up with a new plan: Misa is to send one last video, announcing that she will not reveal Kira's name and will try to gain Kira's favour by helping him kill criminals and passing on her powers to others. He hopes that this will confuse L as to how many people have Kira's powers.
As the two converse, Light becomes amazed at Misa's single-minded thoughts of love, and reminds her that as long as L is alive, they cannot be seen together. In addition, Light announces that he will have to start dating other girls to alleviate L's suspicion. Misa becomes outraged at this proposition and forbids Light from seeing any one else. In a fit of rage, Light threatens to kill Misa if she disobeys him, which he planned to do anyways after he killed L.
Rem steps in and announces that after watching and following Misa, she developed feelings for her. She then warns Light that if he kills Misa, she will use her own Death Note to kill Light, even though doing so would also kill herself. Their conversation is cut short as Misa has to return home. After she leaves, Light researches her on his computer and discovers that she is a famous model.
The next day, Light heads to the investigation headquarters and finds that L has already received Misa's tape. The message is exactly as Light dictated. After watching it, L immediately deduces that the two Kiras have met, due to the fact that fake Kira makes no mention of their meeting and thus may be trying to conceal it, and also that fake Kira openly stated that she would try to gain Kira's approval, something which she did not say in any previous video.
L openly muses on the possibility of Light being Kira, and seems to reject it by saying that if Light were Kira, he would tell the second Kira to force L to appear on television and kill him. Light sees that L is testing his intellect again, and responds that L would never surrender himself, therefore that approach wouldn't work. L then confesses that it would be troubling if Light were indeed Kira, as Light is the only friend L ever had. Light is shocked at this declaration, but plays along by reciprocating L's feelings. Nevertheless, L secretly orders Light to be followed wherever he goes.
As Light returns home, Misa meets up with him, saying that even though he told her not to see him, she could not wait two weeks. Light is initially angered that Misa let her emotions get the better of her, but then makes a proposition to Rem. Rem wishes for Misa to be happy, but as long as L is alive, Misa and Light can never be happy together. Therefore, Rem should use her Death Note to kill L. Light is skeptical that this approach will work, but is again surprised as Rem accepts his proposal. She states that because she has no feelings towards Light, L's death will not kill her.
