Corin Nemec was possessed, or for how long, or what was his goal
So Crowley would have an inside man.
Gwen's reaction
Horror and grief, I assume. But she really wasn't enough of a character to make it matter.
The Campbells (or any kind of other characters introduced for more than an episode) are going to exist to illuminate changes or conflicts in Sam and Dean. Otherwise, you've got an ensemble drama, which this is isn't.
In this case, they didn't execute that thread very neatly, but it does mean a) they weren't completely alone; b) they might not be, even now, since they could stumble on others next season; and c) family is about who you choose it to be, the way they've chosen Bobby. Blood isn't everything.
Samuel's motivation for agreeing to work with Crowley is ridiculous to me, but the arc is over now, so I'm not particularly bothered.
I'd actually like to see less people coming back from the dead this season. Let people stay in the grave for once.
Gwen had a husband? Who was that?
I think it's not so much how the Campbell arc played out, but how it was hyped in comparison to how it played out that has me miffed.
ita, she was married to Christian, the dude who turned out to be possessed by a demon. Played by Corin Nemec.
Really? I thought they were cousins of some sort.
she was married to Christian
When was that established? When she was introduced, she was just introduced as a distant cousin, like Christian.
Christian's wife's name began with an A...
eta: Arlene.
Oh yeah, they were the ones who were going to take the shifter!baby to raise.

I don't really read spoilery interviews, so I didn't get any of the hype. That could be the difference.
Maybe that explains my confusion over the lack of emotion of his demise on Gwen's part. Where did I get that from?

Maybe that? Maybe fanfic?
Maybe that?
No, it was Christian and Arlene that were going to take the baby. It must have been fanfic that confused you, though I've never seen Gwen pop up in anything I've read. And the only time Christian showed up (Rockin' You Straight) in anything I read he was married to Arlene.
