The unusual shooting style of last week's ep masked it a little, but I thought I detected a little lack of synchronicity between the actors last night. The same sort of thing it usually takes an episode or two to shake out after hiatus until they settle back into tandem harness.
Or, it could be actual writing, and acting, reflecting the growing fracture lines between the brothers. I'm not sure which. More episodes will tell.
I do think it's unfortunate that the strike put the arc's momentum in the crapper. I just hope the actors get what they want at negotiations in June and a SAG strike doesn't delay the start of filming for the fall season.
My favorite scene from last night's ep? The early one in the rain: You want to talk about who's keeping secrets? Yeah, let's get into that, I want to see that donnybrook.
Honestly though, since Dean's deal had a stipulation about attempting to break his deal resulting in Sam's (re-)death, you'd think he'd remember that Sam has a good reason to keep him in the dark about any plans along those lines. "How dare you keep secrets from me... as opposed to dropping dead if you reveal them and I sign on!" just doesn't make a lot of sense.

It is already going to hell according to the latest reports.

Though most of Sam's secrets aren't about working on the deal-- they are about Lilith (and Mary, though Dean doesn't know that yet)
(and Mary, though Dean doesn't know that yet)
Which is that?
And what does Sam know about Lilith? The only secret I can think that Sam has is that he killed a Crossroads Demon. Or did he tell Dean about that?
Which is that?
I don't think Dean knows that Mary recognized the YED the night he killed her.
And what does Sam know about Lilith?
Sam didn't tell him about Lilith at first-- Rudy did.
But Sam knew about Lilith before Dean did? When was that? I thought Ruby told them both at the same time.
Nope-- Ruby told Sam earlier.
eta: I forget which ep she told him in, but in the Henricksen ep, it was clear Sam knew stuff Dean didn't.
didn't the demon in Malleus Maleficarum tell Sam about Lilith? the whole power from the west or some crap?
tiggy is right-- it was the other demon, not Ruby.
