She's less Mary Sue than you'd expect?
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Maybe next season we'll get the "Adventures of Dean and Bela! In HELL!"
I will admit to having had this thought.
I have 2 questions:
1) Red eyes? wtf with red eyes?
2) Why, if Lilith wants Sam dead, would she make a deal to resurrect him?

Well, the test designer set 50+ as the cut-off point for "Kill it now." Meaning such a painfully obvious Mary Sue that no respectable author should have combined so many tropes of extra-specialness.

Me third. I was thinking, "Aww, well at least Dean will know someone when he gets there."
When I was 12, I would have known better than to sell MY soul grumble grumble grumble
Not a Bela fan, but this kinda made sense to me. Lord save us from teenagers anywhere in that 12-18 range. LIFE or DEATH. They'd sell their soul for a better car, let alone a more substantial reason such as abuse.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
This, I fear, is the ultimate flaw in the Supernatural universe as constructed. If demons have the ability to make a deal with anybody, with no reasonableness limitations, how is it that a thirteen year old boy from Hoboken is not currently Emperor of the Universe, ritually beheading his sadistic gym teacher daily, and the polygynous husband of ten different Hollywood starlets?

Because books.
Yeah, I think most teens (and especially preteens) are not quite as precocious as our Jilli.
The red eyes on Bela's demon confused me, too, because red eyes are a crossroads demon thing. But ... she was on a swing set, and she certainly wasn't shown summoning one.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
how is it that a thirteen year old boy from Hoboken is not currently Emperor of the Universe, ritually beheading his sadistic gym teacher daily, and the polygynous husband of ten different Hollywood starlets?
Because he won't do anything that could be useful to a demon in the years between 13 and 23?
Wildly speculating on Lillith's purpose here, but I'd guess that trying to take Dean's soul was 1) a fun way to piss off the YED, before he sadly went tits up, 2) a way to drive Sam toward some crazy behavior which would make him easier to take out, and 3) the feather in the cap of getting another Winchester in Hell.
As for Bela, she's certainly no slouch when it comes to the supernatural... perhaps having her running around as a chaotic neutral wildcard was an entertaining notion.

It is possible that on the whole we're looking too hard for pragmatic, sensible motivations and not giving enough credit to demons' demonstrated sadistic delight in fucking with people.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I mean, compare and contrast the demons' actions here and the Devil's on Reaper. The Devil totally gets a kick out of fucking with people. There's no hidden agenda there. He always knows there's a catch, and that's the joy of it.
