Well, my theory is that Chuck was God - cause I've got no other explanation. It does make the amulet pointless though - which is disappointing. I hope somebody thinks to go rescue his hard drive as a research tool.
I concur with the first comment -- I don't think Sam is an active vessel anymore. First of all, neither Lucifer nor Michael would need a vessel in Hell. But God presumably could pull the abandoned meat suit(s) back out if he wanted to. And maybe he did. Maybe he reunited Adam with his mother in heaven, which is what he wanted. And Sam is - lurking outside of Lisa's home, where he told Dean to go.
Second, for the same reason a full-power Castiel had to leave, they can't have a ticked off Lucifer wandering around -- too much interference with the presumed new story line if really powerful beings are front and center.
I think Lucifer is in his cage (with Michael) - and Castiel could possibly visit (the show, not the cage), since it isn't clear who is around in heaven to order otherwise (Raphael?) And it's not clear whether Cas would listen -- but it's also unclear what kind of story would require his presence. So who knows. Other than tptb. Of course, presumably someone is going to have to set up a bunch of seals to keep the cage locked. Unless they want to rescue Michael.... but probably not.
