I wonder if Amelia is running from, not a demon, et. al., but an abusive ex or maybe a substance abuse past? Some inner demon or human problem? And Sam wants "normal" but forgets that "normal" can be fraught with its own problems.
I dunno if that's how it will play, but I think it would be an interesting take. And Sam still is stubborn about the "I want normal!" because he does, but is in somewhat a state of denial about the reality of what the fuck IS normal, to anyone, regardless of whether or not they hunt monsters or are a dentist or vet or plumber.
When Dean and Sam were bundling Jimmy off, who was it that laid down the harsh reality of keeping loved ones safe now that the demons had his scent?
I....um, can't remember? (I watched that ep on a muscle relaxer for my effed up shoulder...)
Why the FUCK was Sam YELLING LOUDLY over the phone at Dean while Dean made it clear he was on a hunt in a nest of vamps?
That is entirely Dean's responsibility. If he's able to make a phone call when he's being all ninja, Sam's volume is a) the least of his worries and b) under his control. If, for some reason, Dean was being dumb enough to carry on a phone convo with anyone while stalking killers, then...that's all on Dean.
And since it turned out that's what Dean wanted, I think it worked out okay.
Oh, that Jimmy! I guess I never think of him that way.
Yeah, true...Dean should have texted his message. "Check Gps. Vamp nest. Phone silent now."
or SOMETHING.
But then he wouldn't have been able to use the phone as a decoy.
Now you're just being all devil's advocate!! But yeah.
I still think, whether not not Dean shouldn't have called same, Sam should have yelled quietly at him! If MY sister and I were badass hunters (I think we'd not be bad, if we'd been trained as kids; we're both pretty snarky and pragmatic and would cut a bitch) I'd be whispering "Goddammit, you stupid little bitch, what the FUCK were you thinking? I'll be there, and then I will kill you."
Of course, I'm older, so I'd be Dean? Hmm. I am laughing and laughing at this idea! "Supernatural" with the *lastname* sisters! We'd still wear pretty much the same clothes as The Winchesters, though I suppose that wouldn't sell a TV show featuring teh wimmins hunting as well...
Oh, and then there's be the incest, which GROOOOOOSSSS! OK, that idea become less hilarious suddenly.
