What an awful picture of him! (The first one.) It doesn't look like his face at all.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

pretty sure it's just crazy shadows, Amy.

Yeah, it must be.
Him seeing the Impala was sweet. But man, it's got to creepy, a crowd of people taking pictures of getting into your car, driving away ...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
He's so gracious--hugging and shaking hands. But did you notice how slowly and carefully he moves in a crowd, no sudden moves, everything low-key. It's a skill, and he's learned it well.

If Show makes good at it's implied promises, I wonder what shape Dean's unraveling/break/breakdown/meltdown/snap will take.
Also, I'm curious about Harvey. If he's not Lucifer reaching out from the cage, if it's not Sam actually being still in the cage, then is it some residual grace (or whatever Lucifer has) still insinuated inside Sam, or is it Sam's mind, and it's a nonsupernatural mental disorder, and why, if it's Sam's mind, would it want for Sam to kill himself. I don't think it's the latter. I'm leaning more towards Harvey after Crichton gets the chip out.

Oh, thanks for the Harvey ref! I've been looking at Lu as Scorpy myself.
...that's probably just word salad for a non-fannish person, huh?

I'm leaning toward completely non-supernatural trauma/visions, or whatever you want to call them.
He's hallucinating Lucifer because he tormented Sam for a century. And between Sam's guilt and the repeated threats, his mind is producing a really reasonable facsimile of Lucifer.
Plus, if Sam subconsciously wanted to off himself, who could blame him? It would be a lot more peaceful than being a half-crazy hunter with a twitchy, grieving brother, a burned out home base, and only one other friend in the world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with Amy that it's just a garden-variety fracture of his mind. The supernatural broke it, but it's broken in a mundane way.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Sam was also briefly Lucifer's vessel, which might result in imprinting an echo of the latter's thought process into his brain even with the actual possessing intelligence long gone. I'd guess he can imagine/hallucinate a better facsimile of Lucifer than Dean could of Alastair, whose long bouts of torture were applied from without rather than within.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Ooh. I like Matt's take on things. Very much so.
Also, given everything they've been through, I suppose it's a miracle that either one of the boys is even remotely functional.
