I understand Dean not wanting to tell Sam what was happening, especially after what he told Cas. Dean doesn't want to put Sam in the position of having to save him or...worst case scenario, kill him. That's why he went to Cas instead and told him to keep Sam out of it "because he'll try". Actually, it's classic big brother Dean trying to protect Sam once again. It'd be endearing if it wasn't so wrong. :P
I still don't like that Sam left Dean alone in the house and it seems I'm not the only one. I wouldn't call Sam a villain though and actually, this whole thing can be resolved if they have Sam lamenting the fact that Dean did that killing and Sam wasn't there to stop him. Because I can totally see Sam blaming himself for this, that he didn't act on his hunches about what was happening with his brother. It's the Winchester way, after all. I actually think Sam feeling guilty about it would redeem his character ('cause we all make mistakes like that in the heat of the moment). But if he doesn't feel guilty about it, that scene will simply remain what it looked like - a dumb, bad decision on Sam's part. However, the writers could have done it differently...time will tell if it was the right way or not. I'll have to wait and see what happens next.
