(that little condescending smirk when Dean hugs him...).
Luckily I saw the preview clip beforehand so I had already had my freak out about that. Patronizing yes, but I do think that when Sam did show emotion and fondness (as much as Sammifer can, anyway) it was toward Dean. He backed him up immediately with the djinn plan and if you watch the middle part of the episode you can see some affection. But yes, overall, Sam was what I expected. It was Bobby that hit me hard. I'm thinking that if it were Dean, Bobby would do the same thing (not tell Sam that Dean was back), so what I can't believe is that Bobby and every other hunter seemed to cut Dean completely out of their lives. Even if they chose not to tell Dean that Sam was back, that doesn't mean they had to lose interaction with him completely. That bothered me. And the fact that both Sam and Bobby decided that they knew what Dean wanted and what was best for him.
