...killing that demon may have been the precise right choice to flex his muscles at the time.
See, and I totally read that as an indication of Sam's well-honed hunter instinct. He read the body language of that demon and concluded he was a mole for Crowley, paying too much attention to the participants in the mission than the mission itself.
There's also the fact that doing so DID get the demon-killing knife back in Winchester hands. That's a huge thing when going into a dangerous situation with demons at your destination and tagging along with you.

I totally saw it as a way for the writers to get the knife back in Winchester hands. What felt "huh?" to me was the "he wanted to kill us more than he wanted to work the job" line. Because, no, that guy was just standing there. Being evil. Like a demon.
I mean, I can handwave it amongst other things or say it's that soulless Sam easily tells lies (which I am cool with cause he's got no soul) but why does Meg buy it?
I believed Sam when he said it. I thought at the time that the demon was showing too much interest in Sam and Dean, posturing against Dean, so what Sam said made sense to me. The demon was a loose cannon that couldn't be trusted to stay on target.
I don't think it has to be more complicated.
Hey, we won the TV Guide cover!
I can't wait for the next episode. I believe it is written by Sera Gamble so I'm hoping that characterizations will be more settled.
Had to rewatch last night. Not sure that I saw Cas looking down - but I loved Dean's reaction to the kiss - those hand gestures = gold. Then I watched "Wishful Thinking". . . love that episode. Love it.
I can't believe we won the cover! It's not a huge thing, in and of itself, but it's a cool thing, plus hopefully new pretty pics.
It's very nice! And it sounds like the guys are pleased, too.
Here's the cover. Sam is randomly blue-eyed. WTF?
eta: x-posty
I'm fairly sure Spike would have some choice words about Dean's hair, too.
But still! Boys! On the cover!
