Why is Dean so against Jack? I mean, apart from his parentage, Jack hasn't really done anything to earn Dean's ire.
So what is it?
I think Dean is trying to learn his lesson finally. He's trying to do what Sam wanted him to do at the beginning of season 11 and change the way they operate. I don't think he's on the "You and me we can get through anything" bandwagon anymore. Not because he doesn't believe but because maybe he thinks that the price they pay is sometimes too high.
They have lost a civilian (Kelly) Cas, their mother, and Crowley in an effort to get rid of Lucifer. Maybe it doesn't seem like the victory is worth the price.
But it's not just that.
The last time he took somebody at face value and let them in, Gadreel ended up using Sam's body to kill Kevin. And that must be forefront in his mind right now as is Sam himself. His father told him that Sam would go bad, that he'd have to kill him. But he resisted that notion. He spent so much time denying it and trying to prevent it, he probably blames himself for failing. For Sam opening the door and letting Lucifer out. And now look where they are...Maybe he's thinking he might have done things differently. Maybe if he had said yes, Lucifer would be dead.
But then again, so would Sam.
It's a conundrum enough to put anyone in a bad mood.
So maybe he's retreated to his most basic state: What Would John Winchester Do?
And maybe he's relying on Sam to make sure that he doesn't have to kill Jack while trying to remain detached enough to make sure he can do it if that's what it comes down to.
