I noticed that the episode repeated a lot of things. In the episode and from the past. Sam using a soda can as an icepack twice int he ep. The documentary, Sam leaving, the 'normal' dilemma. The shot where Dean is inside and then we only see his arm punch Sam reminded me of the pilot where we see Sam's arm roughly pull Dean through a doorway. A very similar shot.
Dean killing Amy is actually in character for him right now I think. He's so very messed up. Every time they spare a monster it turns out badly. The only one that didn't was Lenore, but in the end she killed again (not her fault) and wanted to die. And there's Cas's betrayal. Dean is just in a very bad place right now. Not to mention the last supernaturally inclined woman Sam protected was Ruby, and Dean saw how that turned out. I think he wants to trust Sam, but though Sam is appearing better Dean knows that Sam is suffering some mental trauma. It wasn't long ago he was shooting his gun at thin air and not knowing what's real. I think Dean can't bring himself to trust Sam't judgement even if he wants to.
