Sam has been overwhelmed this whole season with the Dean/Michael thing, and training all the new hunters, and Jack, and he's been stuffing it down and plowing through...and he hit the wall (and Dean) here and let everything out and it killed me. (I am writing this from the great beyond.)
Given how low the expectations were for these writers, this episode was doubly amazing!
Although clearly there is some plan in the works for Nick/Lucifer that none of the fans want/care about but TPTB think will be terrific...
Also, a little tidbit--at the last con of 2018, which was right after this episode was filmed, Jensen and Jared were talking about not liking when it says to cry in the script because they want to go where the scene takes them and not force tears, that the organic emotion of actually doing the scene is more effective. Then Jensen said that they had just filmed a scene where Dean was in 'physical distress' and he got unexpectedly emotional, and brought the crew to tears. It had to be the scene in the coffin.
