The montage toward the beginning of "Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox" shows that one of the dates whom Asa kisses is an attractive young light-skinned Black woman, obviously (in hindsight by episode's end) Tasha Banes.
Unless my math is off, this episode showed us that Mary traveled from Kansas to Canada to hunt - saving/inspiring Asa as a child - while pregnant with Dean. Even if my math WAS off and it was later, she left toddler/pre-schooler Dean home to pursue prey into a foreign country.
And, yes, Jody was a mom figure for the boys, before, during and after Mary's second stint on Earth. But being a mom, or a wife, or a widow doesn't mean that you are dead, i.e. that you no longer have nor relinquish the want/need for a romantic/sexual relationship. But Asa was pretty much the love-them-and-leave-them type; if he didn't settle down with Tasha, the mother of his children, it was unlikely that he would do so with Jody or anyone else.
This was the episode in which Billie-the-Reaper demanded the death of a Winchester and Mary volunteered but Cas broke "the stupid deal" and killed Billie, presumably not knowing that it would lead to her "promotion." My personal theory is that Billie never relinquished that wish/intention and therefore that it was Billie-as-Death -- not Jack - who killed Mary later on in the show. Jack's wish for Mary was to simply leave him alone, and his pushing her away with his mind should not by itself have caused Mary to die.
I love this episode. It packs an awful lot in.
