I've been thinking about this episode and the last one, and how Sam's character (as someone else suggested, but I can't remember where) seems to be mostly in service to the plot. I suppose I'm a Dean girl, but I'm mostly a Sam&Dean together girl, but this lack of information about Sam bugs me, too...
Last week we got to hear about how Dean has never had a long term relationship, it was made clear that he has Daddy issues, and more than anything, the idea that he was going crazy freaked him the hell out, and so on. However, all we got of Sam was that he's ANGRY and that he thinks that's a problem. And that anger led to him being strapped to a bed so we could have the climax of the episode. Again this week, I thought that we got to see more of Dean's inner life (his reactions to not-Sam) and all we got of Sam was his frustration at being stuck and imprecations to the kiddies not to be stupid. But, still nothing about how/what Sam thinks about Lucifer, his life, etc.
I really hope we get some insight into Sam before the end of the show in May(?). The last time I really felt as thought I got a look into Sam was when he very briefly tried to leave hunting behind at the beginning of this season. I don't know if this makes sense, but I thought I'd share.
