Yes. How exciting it would be the other way. But I also like the grudging respect in "thanks to" and it's also the YED using that, which gives me a nice little shiver. The YED twists things to his own purposes. He says he killed Mary because she interrupted but maybe killing Mary was part of the plan too because by killing Mary, he put John on the road with his boys and caused John to train Sam as well as he did.

Yes -- and the sense that the Demon sees Sam as a joint project, his and John's. Which is both creepy and really cool.

I'm a little resistant to this idea, if only because I really like the idea that Sam is something of an accident -- that John made him into a weapon, and the Demon wants to use that weapon, but that Sam is also the weapon which might ultimately destroy the YED. That he's both a temptation and a threat to the YED, I guess, and that he's something unpredictable. (For one thing, it explains why Sam is the center of the story, as opposed to any of the other children, and makes this particular generation especially important to the YED.)
Yes, I see your point about Mary. I like the accident of it too (and very much that Sam was just a regular human child until the YED dribbled blood on him).
But I sort of wanted the YED, after revealing that killing Mary was a fluke, to say something like "Although it worked out better than I expected."

And all I can say is that I'm glad I only have to wait a week to see the next episode and not the whole of the summer. Gah.
I am now slightly scared of what they'll come up with as a cliffhanger next week.

OMG YES! Although we may get some even worse cliffhanger, in its place!
I would not be surprised, actually, if Sam were still dead at the end of next week's episode.

But then, I didn't really think about it too much. :)
