Dean’s death had forced Sam to take a different route. He was manipulated by Ruby, a demon, who convinced him to drink her blood to power up. Dean eventually discovered the truth and refused to give up on Sam in season 4. Even though Sam had taken the wrong path, he eventually understood and faced the consequences.
