eta: so very very pretty, sumi. Thanks for that.
LR: I don't see anything out of character in LR. Ruby is in communication enough that she gets inside tips all the time. Dean being gripped tightly and being broadcast on WANG, would have definitely made it to her. So I doubt she is surprised at all to see Dean show up at the door. I think Sam is genuinely unaware, however, as he sees Dean for the first time. However he throws Ruby such a knowing glance at the end and makes funny faces during the "Kristy/Kathy" sequence, so I am thinking he just wanted her to get out of there without Dean finding out. Perhaps Sam not asking Dean how he got out of hell, was a function of not entirely believing it was Dean yet. Or shock. Also maybe trying to hold himself together when faced with the one thing he wanted most in the world but was told he couldn't have, even by trading his soul. Maybe the whole time Sam is being all blase, Sam is really thinking, "Keep the thing that looks like Dean happy until I can go talk to Ruby and find out what is going on." By the time the shock starts wearing off and he does start asking questions, Dean doesn't want to talk about it. I think it is all there in the presentation, and although I think it is open enough for interpretation, I think the show knew exactly what they were doing. IMHO. YLRMV.
IKWYDLS does give some new perspective on Sam's automatic disbelief in Dean at first glance. But I still wonder if things wearing Dean's face appeared to taunt Sam while Dean was gone. And I wonder if Dean's torturers, or the souls he finally tortured, wore Sam's face in hell.
Given the givens, I think both are safe assumptions, at least until canonically proved wrong.
edit: I think I'm willing to go along with the way Ruby and Sam presented themselves in LR. Their actions are plausible, given the circs, at least to me.

With a side of "don't want to admit it wasn't me" for flavoring?
A little prezzie for those who haven't seen it.
Our extracurricular angel, here.
Oh, holy shit. Goddamn, I love that show. Thank you, Bev!
OMG, I can't stop laughing. Oh, my.
Supernatural
did quite well in the CW Awards.
I thought some of you might like that. The thing that gets me is when Sean is asking "Does it prevent you from doing certain poses?" Christian (or McMahon, I guess) is about to crack up beside him. I wonder how many takes they did of that scene.
Bwah, a happy Festivus, indeed. Ah, yoga.
Ha. I now am no longer in fear of even the craxiest of fans approaching Misha. In fact I would be a little afraid of ever meeting him. I don't think there is enough brain bleach in the world to get that scene out of my head.
