How fortunate the monster-of-the-week has amazing parallels to Sam's plight so that we can explore his psyche and descent. My concerns this week, besides that this episode being a snoozer, were as follows:
1. The two Rugarus we knew of married normal humans, but their babies seem to be 100% Rugaru. What happened to the 50% gene split? The Rugaru gene should get diluted with time. Even if Jack Montgomery's father was 100% Rugaru, he should only be 50%, and his baby 25%. Of course, these are supernatural beings, and genetics be damned, but they are not so different from humans that they can't breed with us.
2. I've perhaps beat the Rapist Sam angle to death, so let's discuss Ruby. When demons take over human bodies, presumably they don't feel what a human would feel, because the human could be dead and the demon inhabiting the person could still truck on (this is arguable, but let's just assume for the sake of argument). So do demons get horny? I suppose centuries of not having sex could do that to an ex-human demon. But could they really feel human pleasure (sex) if they don't feel human pain? (Though if they can't it doesn't mean they won't have sex just to mess with someone, like, say, Sam.) And who's to say that a demon can only inhabit bodies of people of the same gender? Maybe Ruby was really a man. Demons lie, don't they? This demon Ruby certainly lies down.
3. Let's have a little more respect for the girl Ruby possessed, shall we? Not only is Sam doing deeds with her in the dark, frustrated Dean goes after her with a knife exactly two weeks after he hears from Meg's spirit? R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Even though Dean wants Sam to quit using his powers, it would be nice to have Sam send Ruby back to hell so this girl can get her life back, if Ruby hasn't damaged the body beyond repair already.
I can't see Supernatural playing as far as Season 5, since Dean = God's Helper vs. Sam = Demon Spawn is pretty darn epic. How do you top that? Then again, Smallville seems milked to death but just keeps going, and going, and going . . . not unlike an Energizer demon (who hasn't met the wrath of Sam).

Good points. I was already thinking the "Sam is essentially raping this poor girl" idea, but didn't even stop to think, What if Ruby is really a guy? That would be hilarious and serve him right. ooooh... another idea. What if Ruby isn't even Ruby? How can Sam really tell? Hell, she certainly doesn't act like Ruby. She's got no attitude. She could be one of Lilith's minions just playing along until Lilith figures out a way to kill Sam. Hmmm...
