I too, really enjoyed this episode. It had some wonderful brother moments, and I felt a heavy sense of sadness at seeing Shaun die and not really being able to accept it (in fact Jensen's being doing such a great job at muting Dean and outwardly showing his depression, that I think I've been feeling that more than I thought I was). I loved seeing Sam trying to be supportive in every way that he could; emotionally, but also physically as he salt ringed Dean, and hovered protectively over him as he clock watched. It gave me lots of feels.
Like you say it wasn't perfect, but I can forgive a lot when we got lots of boys and their relationship, and seeing them talk inside ignoring pivotal moments; seeing Sam trying to be strong and supportive when he knows that his brother is struggling so much, and obviously shelving his own emotions and grief so he can put Dean first.
Like you say I'm all behind Sam taking a care-giving role, in fact, I love it. But I'd to get some pay off further down the line; I'd like Sam to air some more of his emotions, particularly about Mary, when he feels that Dean is maybe a bit stronger. I would have liked to see Sam's reaction to seeing Cas, but I'm not going to go into that.
If Cas is really back, that I'd like to see him do something; whether that's go off with Jack, and build a nice little father and son thing, or something to do with the Empty. But he needs something.
Argh! Sorry I didn't reply to this comment earlier!

This! Before the last 2 episodes I was SURE we were going to get more Sam stuff. But alas... :( They never seem to pan out for Sam.
Maybe we'll get something in the second half of the season. I'm still hopeful... xxx
