I bet he could torture the heck out of Dean though and not get in trouble.
They should wrestle!
One thing I'll point out about Sam shacking up with Ruby (if that's what is going on); is that it's basically rape. That body who's sleeping with Sam doesn't belong to Ruby, and the girl who owns the body didn't consent to the sex.
From re-watch (and the scene being included in the Previouslies), the moment of recognition in the diner when Sam said "Ruby" was a little bit "of course you're in that body now, too". Or something. It didn't read to me as if he had seen Ruby in that body before, but he wasn't unsurprised.
They really need to make that clear at some point. Surely someone will ask Kripke in one of those

interviews, right? Because it's kind of important!
The way the first scene played, I like Juliana's interpretation. She really did seem like a random girl, not Ruby-pretending-to-be-a-random-girl.
I agree PC. I mean, why set-up the "cover story" of them shagging if Sam didn't believe that was really Dean? Who else would possibly care?

But she was only on the sidelines of the scene until after Bobby had established that it was really-o truly-o Dean. Her playing the part of a one-night stand is an easy way for her to get out of there without anyone asking questions as to who she is. (Note that she initiated that situation by saying that she should go...)

I could buy into that, except that I got the impression Sam had spent his summer vacation time without Dean working with Ruby to develop his demon-dusting mind tricks. If she wasn't in Kathy/Kristy, what body was she in?
Cindy/Sandy, Molly/Holly, Tracy/Teri, etc.

Yes, but in her underwear.
I don't know. I would rather have to handwave them as not having had sex than think that Sam had sex with some random girl and then Ruby possessed her without Sam even raising an eyebrow about it.
Yes, but in her underwear.
I still think maybe they were sharing a hotel room. Ruby needs someplace to keep her meatsuit, and since it doesn't belong to her she's probably not overly fussy about what she dresses it in.
(Besides, it's not like this show is immune from television's love of random inappropriate nudity.)
I think this is what Misha meant by fine tooth comb. But it makes a difference. Did they or didn't they, and if they did, at what point did Sam know it was Ruby?
FTR, I don't think they did. I'm comfortable in that camp.
