That's why I didn't like Missouri. Dean's not really such a cocky SOB. Alot of it's an act, Dean really does not need to be knocked down a peg. And I can't see any good point to knocking him off his game when he's working on a case, you want him to be on his game. :)
Also as I see it reading someone's mind and then sharing their thoughts solely in order to embarrass them, especially when one is supposedly a professional, is pretty unethical. It was one thing to be a bit sassy with the "don't put your feet on my coffee table" thing but when she started smacking him in the head, calling him stupid when honestly I didn't find anything he did to be wrong, I did not think he was being rude to Ginny. At all. Missouri could have gotten her point across without devaluing Dean's intelligence in front of a woman who will soon be asked to put her and her kids lives in his hands.
And then at the end Sam offers to pay for the damage(when they just saved Ginny and her kids lives at the risk of their own for free mind you) and Dean, in his own head gets a little annoyed at Sam's unilateral decision, at a time Dean was the only one earning any money(and hustling pool and gambling is still work and was still the main of what they were living off of on a day to day basis besides the credit cards(which it seems to me are mainly used for motels and such), Missouri treats Dean like a naughty 5 year old for something he never even said outloud, nor was going to. Dean deserved better than that. I just found it incredibly rude and disrespectful towards Dean.
No I just didn't like that, not one bit.
That said, I was always willing to have Missouri back, so long as they wrote her as a little less fawning all over Sam and little less treating Dean like a rock stuck in her shoe. I liked the idea of the character alot and I thought Loretta Devine could easily play her a little softer next appearance without it coming across like a total retcon or re-write of the character.
