Orion Invictus, yes, I understand why Kip did what he did. I was referring to any further attempts at becoming King of Hell. Kip could just as easily have made an attempt at conquering Hell without approaching Sam. Any demon could make the attempt without approaching the Winchesters. Sam currently has no powers or authority or residence in Hell that would keep him aware of what is going on. So unless Sam spends time later in the season more involved wtih the politics of Hell than he is right now trying to rescue Dean, I don´t see how Sam can possibly stop any demon from taking the throne--or attempting to--because he won´t necessarily be aware of it. Remove the demon after, sure. But his statement just seemed ...exaggerated. Or foreshadowing.
