I don't know. The evidence is, as I said, very ambiguous.

I guess my bottom line is I find it easier to believe that Sam can ignore that Ruby is possessing some anonymous girl (since he already did that for a whole season), than that he wouldn't have a reaction to her taking over someone he's slept with, even if the sex itself meant nothing. There is a difference, a huge difference, between talking to a demon and talking to a demon who has the face of someone he's been intimate with.

That he has no reaction at all to the body Ruby is in tells me he already knew she was in it.

I'm guessing that canon will answer the question at some point this season.

I do not think that Sam (or the show over all) has stooped so low as to treat rape so casually.

And I'd argue the show already has. I think this is the first time it's been played for laughs, but this isn't the first time that rape, or implied rape, has featured in an episode. Is including it because it's hot less low than doing it for laughs?
