I both loved and hated that ending for the exact same reason. I mean, you are entirely right about how any sane person, especially one in law enforcement, would react to Dean and, in turn, how he would react to them, especially in this situation. In fact, I wrote a story about it myself. No one without some fairly compelling evidence is going to buy ghosts and Dean as hero, so I I liked that they remained skeptical. On the other hand, Dean is a hero and it's sad to see these people who could have made an awesome team being at odds with each other. The teaser for the next story looks all sorts of awesome and chalk full of angsty goodness. Can't wait.
