Glare

Glare  (グレア, Gurea) is the eighth episode in the anime series Death Note.

Synopsis
In this episode, Light has noticed that he is now under surveillance. His paranoid thoughts were confirmed by a three-step method he set to see if anyone had entered his room while he was away.

Step 1: A piece of paper in his bedroom door, that was visible from the outside.

Step 2: A piece of mechanical pencil lead in the hinges of the door.

Step 3: His doorknob only went up to, and closed at 90 degrees, so whenever he left he would lower the handle by a few degrees.

By telling Ryuk that he will have to stop giving him apples, Light effectively had all cameras found in a relatively short time.

To continue his tasks as Kira, he hid a mini LCD television in a bag of potato chips. The footage was then evidence that Light was not Kira under the thought that he had no idea about the deceased criminals' existence.

Trivia

 * The famous "I'll take a potato chip, and eat it!" scene was originally from this episode.
