"Character who's thought to be dead comes back and is revealed to be alive" is such a common trope for a plot twist that it's not that amazing, fun, or interesting anymore, unless the writers work really hard to do something different with it.

I've provided this example before, but there was a character in Bleach, who we saw walking around alive, then saw that character's corpse after they'd been "murdered," and then they showed up later, confusing everyone, including the audience.

At least Supernatural never did that trope, or at least, they didn't do it outright. I was only on the verge of thinking their dad was dead, but they kept searching for him and finding clues and stuff, insisting that he had to still be alive, and then they finally got in contact with him.

So, yeah, I'm one of those people who would really prefer that Summer is actually dead.
