So, whatever they need to do to keep Mary around- DO IT.
How much time does she need? How long has it been for them? She is following in John's footsteps all right. I hope that she kept those postcards. It's a tangible reminder of the good that they do. It's more than her boys ever get.
I wonder why she chose to stay? Will she change her mind? Can she live with Sam and Dean? Things will never be normal. Her and Dean are going to have to accept this. No matter what- things are strange.
I call bullshit on Mary still hunting. Why was she so stupid in the pilot? As soon as the lights flickered, she should have suspected something. I've always hated the retcon of her being a hunter, the pilot makes her look like a moron. And that takes place three years later? Come on. Sam was not rusty in the pilot.
The boys hanging at Jody's? Uh-huh. But I love Jody so whatever. Her reaction to Mary. Ha! and Kim got to join the demon club! Yay!
You know that it is driving Billie crazy that Mary is alive. But Amara brought her back. Can Billie do anything about that? I mean, God knows about it. Then again, they drove Death crazy too. But they are laying the groundwork for Billie to take Mary. She will decide to go. They are pressing down on the whole hunters end up dead thing. And Sam being Lucy. Do not go there show.
