Despite Jack’s omnipotence, however, he never brought Dean back to life afterSupernatural’s ending.
You know that always ends bad."
But it is… and that’s okay.
Since Dean was content to move on, however, he remained dead.
Nevertheless, that explanation does not account for Jack letting Dean’s death happen in the first place.
As such,Jack still has questions to answer regarding Dean’s demise.

Knowing this,Jack decided, “I won’t be hands-on.”
Dean was going to be happy in Heaven, and Jack knew that.
In many ways, Jack’s philosophy makes total sense.
Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is a fantasy/drama series that premiered in 2005. The series follows the adventures of Dean and Sam Winchester - two men wronged by supernatural beings as children who now spend their days investigating and hunting demons, ghosts, and monsters across the United States.
By staying “hands-off,“Jack was merely honoring the lessons Sam and Dean taught him.
Unfortunately for Dean, that meant Jack could not step in to prevent his death.
As per his free will, Dean went on that fateful hunting mission and knowingly risked his life.
For Jack to interfere would be to meddle with Dean’s autonomy.
It is also important that Dean knew what dying would mean.
As consolation prizes go, Dean landed on his feet.
Dean was going to be happy in Heaven, and Jack knew that.
The only wrinkle in Jack’s excuse is that he did get somewhat involved against the Akrida duringThe Winchesters.
Even Jack must have a point where he has no choice but to throw hands.
While Jack never exactly encouraged this behavior, he didn’t prevent it either.
Death’s impact upon Dean was not all that profound.
From that angle, the question of why Jack refused to revive Dean becomes a moot point.
As soon as Dean died, he was free to walk right back out again.
Bobby Singer is one of the most important supporting characters on Supernatural.
So why did the writers kill off his character in season 7?
That’s only a small hop away from reviving him completely.
That would have made for quite the disappointing end.
