There are those of you fellow Supernatural viewers wondering why Sam seem suddenly okay and altogether since he went off the rails in Hello, Cruel World. Why the Lucifer hallucinations have become less of a pressing problem. I have a theory that may set up a twisted rough road for Sam. I think in the time between Sam leaving Dean after he found out his role in Amy's death and their reunion in the Mentalists, Mental Lucifer has evolved from a hallucinatory presence to an alternate personality with the power to take over Sam's body. I think he is in full control of Sam and when he touches his palm these days, it isn't to maintain his sense of reality but to keep Sam at bay. The reason why Mental Lucifer hasn't run off and left Dean is because of the Leviathans. They want Sam dead which would mean his death and since he doesn't have the same abilities as the original Lucifer, he has no choice but to pair up with Dean in hopes that together they can find a way to defeat them. Once they've gone, Mental Lucifer can be free to do whatever he wants. But in the meantime, he has no choice than to pretend to be dear, old Sam with the help of his access to Sam's memories and do the sort of things Sam would do like being angry at Dean for what he did to Amy and, later, worrying about Dean's state of mind.
Resolving this problem will be tricky because this isn't a case of demonic posession. Mental Lucifer is a representation of Sam's Hell trauma which would make him a part of Sam's personality. To conquer Mental Lucifer or at least have supreme control of him, Sam needs to tackle his Hell trauma like he has never done before. Forcing Mental Lucifer into submission may turn him into an unexpected helper in the interest of his and Sam's self-preservation like Neural Scorpius aka Harvey was to John Crichton in Farscape.
So either Mental Lucifer is in full control of Sam or he takes over Sam from time to time, not all the time, and puts in fake memories in Sam's mind to cover up the blackouts which may have occured during the time he was on his own after taking a break from Dean after the Amy bombshell and when he was apart from Dean before It's Time for a Wedding.
