Mary's death was the reason why the Supernatural story started, why John became a hunter and trained their boys to be hunters as well. John was always searching for a way to find and kill the demon who killed her. Her death marked a void in the lives of Dean and Sam. Dean remembered her, and Sam always wished that he knew her.
When Amara (the Darkness) is reunited and reconciled with Chuck (God), she tells Dean, "You gave me what I needed most. I want to do the same for you." Then she resurrects Mary. Thus, begins a bigger adventure of knowing their mom. Still, throughout the series there are things that make little sense about Mary.
10 Was A Ghost Since Her Death, Unknown To Her Family
Mary was a ghost or spirit in their old house. In Season 1, Sam and Dean finally see her, and she saves them. However, this means that she has been a ghost in that house since her death. As a ghost for that amount of time, she would either have stayed due to unresolved issues, or she could have gone crazy (disconnected from the world).
If she stayed due to unresolved issues, this would mean that she would know that her adult sons would need her one day. This would mean that she would have premonition. Where did this come from, and why didn't it stay when she was made human again?
9 Rarely Gets Seriously Injured
When Mary is resurrected, she quickly begins a life of hunting. Barely resurrected, she goes with Dean to rescue Sam from Lady Toni (a member of the British Men of Letters). Though Dean would rather that she stay behind, Mary convinces him that the British Men of Letters wouldn't expect her, thus giving the Winchesters an upper-hand.
While she does surprise Toni, Toni knocks Mary around, even through a wall. Yet, besides a little blood, Mary is okay. Maybe when she was resurrected, her body was given more strength and healing capabilities? Fans know that Chuck (God) and later Luck gifted the brothers with such support. It could be that Mary has it, too, but it's still puzzling.
8 Trusts the British Men of Letters
Initially, Mary didn't trust them. She harbored the same uncertainty as Dean, but that soon changes. She sees greater potential with this alliance, and she does missions with them without her sons. For someone who is both smart and wary, it's odd that she begins to trust the British Men of Letters. Maybe it's because of Mick (poor Mick), who more trustworthy than the rest, but the system behind him was corrupt.
Later, she finds that she was used as a brainwashed-hunter-killer machine, which changes her view on them.
7 Wants to Die
When Mary is first resurrected, she feels odd. Mary doesn't feel that she belongs. Along she is able to adjust quickly, a part of her wishes that she hadn't been resurrected. Knowing that Mary is a fighter and would do nearly anything for her family, it would make more sense that she would be grateful of this second chance.
However, she seems to be unhappy to have had it.
6 Doesn't Remember Being a Ghost
This one stumps fans. After all, other characters have been ghosts, and have returned to life with all of those memories. When Dean was ghost-like, he remembered everything. When Eileen was brought back to her corporeal state, she also remembers everything from her time as a ghost. Ghost-Mary saved her sons and recognized them immediately (even though they were adults).
Why is Human-Mary not able to retain the same understanding and to remember her experience as a ghost. It doesn't make sense.
5 Doesn't Actively Mourn Her Parents
The yellow-eyed demon killed her mom and dad, two other hunters, and her fiancee John. She makes the pact with the yellow-eyed demon to bring John back to life. However, other than in this episode, fans don't see her actively mourn her parents. It's like she just moved on. However, her father once came back to the living after making a deal with Crowley just to get Mary back. John made it his life's purpose to avenge her death.
Wouldn't she have mourned her parents more? Also, many of her friends and family were killed by the yellow-eyed demon. Yet, they are also not actively mourned. For the Winchesters (and the Campbells), family is of the utmost importance, so it's odd that Mary moves on from these losses so quickly.
4 Immediately Throws Herself Into Hunting
Once Mary is back, she's searching for her place in the world. So on one hand, it's understandable that she would return to hunting; it's something that she's grown up doing, and it's something that she understands. However, she seems to prefer to hunt without her sons (at first), and she definitely spends more time hunting than connecting with her sons.
While fans may understand a little of this, after-all she was just resurrected, it goes on for a long time. For someone who sacrificed her life for her sons, it doesn't quite make sense.
3 Is Still Connected to the Hunter Community
Mary was over 30 years dead, but she still has her contacts in the hunter community. Additionally, she easily makes other contacts. She is someone that the community trusts. Knowing how divided the hunter community was over Sam and his mysterious powers, it's hard to believe that they all would be so accepting of Mary after being resurrected.
On one hand, it's a testament to Mary and her past. On the other hand, it's odd how readily she's accepted back by the hunters (a group of people known for their wary nature).
2 Sleeps With Ketch
No doubt, Ketch became a much better person later on, but he is not that person when Mary works with him and sleeps with him. This is the Ketch that killed Mick in cold blood. This is the Ketch that Lady Toni is even a little afraid of and avoids. Moreover, Ketch has it in for Mary's boys. Still, she sleeps with him, and he develops feelings for her.
While it was weird that Mary went for Alternate-World Bobby, being with Ketch was even stranger.
1 Rejects Her Adult Sons
When Mary is brought back, she almost immediately leaves to hunt on her own. Then later, when she's brainwashed and Dean has to get to her, she's buried herself in old memories. She prefers the young Dean and Sam to the real ones. Additionally, Dean holds her in the highest regard, so it's hard when she doesn't want to be with them. Sam also wants to know her, and it hurts him when she keeps in better touch with Dean than with him.
Later, she does show herself as the fierce and devoted mother. It just takes her longer to get there than fans wanted to see.
