Huh! I did not notice a dark figure watching Sam! Hmmm, I wonder if Sam did, indeed, make a deal for Dean's release (and/or for the safety of Amelia) and reciprocally promised to stay out of hunting. Boy, would that explain a LOT. (Personally, I do hope it was AlphaVamp watching Sammy. I find him a delicious beast.)
Yeah, the secrecy felt a tad forced, I'll agree. Probably because the writers rushed into the reunion so fast. Hell, they rushed into everything at the speed of a fangirl's whimsy. But I do think they gave Sam enough backbone to defend himself with sensitivity towards Dean's recent plight and not come off as the 'bad brother.' He recognized his mistake with Kevin and apologized for that, straight away. But the rest? Sure, he earned his hunting-free life but I'm sure we'll discover there's more to that decision than just "Hey, here's my opportunity."
