I don't know if that was supposed to be Oberon but in folklore a Red Cap is a kind of fairy that can either be a really evil spirit (also known as Bloody Cap) or just a sort of house-elf a la Harry Potter's Dobby. I assume they were going the "evil spirit" route -- though I'm not at all clear on why he wanted to kill Dean.
Sam is grotty but this episode was so off the wall that it worked. I laughed out loud at Dean trying to explain why Sam should have been sitting in the dark suffering. Although of course, it's hard to forget that Sam pretty much acted exactly the same way when Dean was in hell...and he supposedly still HAD a soul back then.
