I did not notice a dark figure watching Sam! It's pretty early in the episode. We see Sam drive away in the Impala from Amelia's house, the camera zooms sideways and we see a dark figure watching him. A deal with the alpha vampire makes sense to me because a) it was a vamp who freed Dean (and it is very conspicuous that Benny just finds Dean in purgatory and offers him to escape; it doesn't look like a coincidence) and b) only a monster would demand of Sam to stop hunting monsters. :)
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.' Yeah, at least the writers allowed Sam for once to argue his case eloquently and sensibly. Even if I didn't have the feeling that there was more to the story than Sam let on, I feel that he makes a good argument. It's just that, obviously, Dean feels that Sam didn't love him enough to even look for him, and that's where my resentment of Sam as the 'bad brother' stems from.
