I think that this plot is same to the Kira vs. L. Detectives are looking after Kira and Kira is working with one of the detectives. (Who just so happened to be like L.) Although Mello does add a intresting part as he lets his emotions make his decisions unlike N or L, also his methods of attack is literally attack. Physically. Lets see were this anime take us with only 9 episodes left.

If another Shinigami is going to the human world, that most likely means there are now going to be three death notes. How has there not been any in the world for so long and now there are going to be three? He did lose his to Ryuk, so maybe that is not the case. Maybe Light is going to lose his. I am thinking to much I guess, but I guess I am getting frustrated. Now there is satellite imaging, rockets, air plane hijacking, Light is failing as L because his deduction skills were only spurred on by knowing the truth.. And now they are in America. I guess it's a change in the series that I don't like because now it feels like a totally different show. I think I'll give it a 4* because despite not being what I want it to be, it still managed to keep my interest in finding out what Light is going to do next now that he has two "L's" after him.

There's hope the serial murdering side of Light can be controlled. Because of this episode it seems that he still has some sort of soft spot for his family by seeing the way he hesitated to kill his sister or decide on who he could kill to try and solve this (only other logical choice would've been his dad). All I'm saying is that Kira still has reservations about harming the people he loved pre-Kira.
