You know, if Dean had said "If they've done harm I hate ghosts" -- but I think it comes down to his usual binary thinking. He was saying that /not/ about Greeley so much as ghosts in general. Knowing Sam was attempting to insinuate Molly's specific situation in some kind of empathetic foreshadow. I do like that Dean had a moment to say "she wasn't so bad" in the end. Cos his approach to her this entire episode was cringe-y for me. It wasn't so much about her harming anyone as being barbed because he doesn't like anything non-human, and he takes it out on Sam or others.

I think you've misinterpreted Dean a bit here, although there are different ways to look at it. While I'm sure that both Sam and Dean would want Molly to go some place better, Dean is not going to spend a lot of time thinking about it (partly because he doesn't want to think about what will happen to him and Sam when they die - Sam, being more religious, has probably thought about it more). Essentially in this episode, I think you see two different attitudes. Dean is all about getting the job done. His sympathy and care is reserved for the living, and he will go far out of his way for them. As far as he's concerned, Molly's life is done. He is not really thinking about her, he's thinking about the people he can save by stopping this cycle of spirits appearing on the highway and causing crashes. Sam on the other hand wants to comfort her, and Dean has little patience with him doing that because they've got a job to do and only a limited time to do it. Once they've done what they came to do, Dean can turn his attention to Molly and try to work with Sam to help her move on. Then you see the brothers working together on the same emotional level.

Perfect description. Dean has always had to be the protector. His whole life was spent not being weak and protecting Sam so he is naturally very rough around the edges. I think that is forgotten by people who get used to the softer Dean, and he can play as abrasive and condescending at times. It wouldn't make sense if he wasn't this way and he is one of the best most realistic well rounded characters in any show I've ever seen.in the last episode she seemed to think Sam 's story versions were more correct than Dean's which just shows that she identifies with Sam much more easily.I like this since most people seem to favor Dean. It's interesting to get the perspective of someone who is hard on Dean because most just seem to give him a free pass.
