Sera rocks my damn socks off. She has such an awesome grasp on both those boys, but especially Sam. It's so obvious that he is her baby. ;) I love where her head goes with these episodes, that she's not afraid of violence or sex, and that she pushes the envelope.
I actually found it frustrating, beginning somewhere at the end of the last season, that Sam just plain refused to learn to use his powers when Lilith was running amok and it was possible for him to stop her.
I didn't think of this until you just said that, but I bet dollars to donuts that's the reason Sam jumped on those powers after Dean died. He realized his mistake. Dean being sent to hell changed his perspective hugely and he began to feel he should've listened to Ruby all along. Which is why it was so easy for him to fall into that role. He fought it still, because he was hearing Dean in his head saying, "SHE'S A DEMON, SAM!" But otherwise, he was a lot more open to the idea. That makes a ton more sense to me now, lol.
