I haven't read much about the episode, but I won't be surprised if they don't deal with this topic at all in it. Of course, this is from not knowing anything about what happens in the episode, just from reading a few different descriptions, so... take that as you will?
And anyways, if his contract was in effect forever (and we're still believing Ruby's intel), wouldn't that mean that when people went to hell and became demons, they would be required to stay there forever? I think this is part of the reason John got to stay out when he left: the details of the contract are that you get sent to hell. If you can claw your way out, great, you're free until someone either sends you back (as a demon), or you move on to magical purgatory land or heaven (if you're a spirit). These are my deep thoughts; I'll be fine with it if it goes either way, I just think Dean's contract has been fulfilled. *shrug*
