The thing is that he's a main captain and nothing like this has happened before so it's not something typical on the show. There was heavy foreshadowing in the promo leading into the first episode, but so far in the first episode, they haven't hinted at what is to come. I have a hard time thinking anyone that watches the show didn't know it happened though so I wanted to make sure.

Ask Ausiello re: Supernatural finale:
exec producer Sera Gamble: “We’re leading up to the big Death Match between Lucifer and Michael, which would cause the destruction of half the planet,” she previews. “Sam and Dean, of course, are trying to throw a wrench in the works — but these are the most powerful beings they’ve ever been up against, so their odds aren’t great. Sam comes up with an incredibly risky Hail Mary to defeat Lucifer, which involves spending some very creepy, violent one-on-one time with the guy. Terrible for Sam, but pretty damn fun to watch.”
Okay, I read that one out of one eye. I think it's all the spoiler I can handle. Go Sammy boy!
More about Supernatural. I'm not sure they reveal all that much:
The series is leading up to the Death Match between Lucifer and Michael, which would cause the destruction of half the planet. The brothers will try to throw a wrench in the works but their odds aren't great against the most powerful beings they've ever been up against. Sam comes up with an incredibly risky plan to defeat Lucifer that involves spending some very creepy, violent one-on-one time with Lucifer.
Here is officially the last SPN spoiler I'm reading, a summary for the final episode:
THE APOCALYPSE – The entire season has been leading up to this showdown between good and evil. With the Apocalypse looming, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) realize they are out of options and make heart-breaking decisions that will change their lives forever. A beloved character is killed.
Bobby or Castiel, we knew and loved thee well.
Anything more is too much detail. That much is as much as I'd guessed would have to happen, given the sadism level of Kripke.
yep. (sigh)
Oh, dear.
Do you think it means that the boys will have to be complicit in the death of whoever it is?
Oh, god, don't kill Cas! Kill Bobby!
I feel shame, but those are my true up-against-the-wall colours.
Yeah, mine, too, I have to admit. I'm guessing the death will be on them in some way. Ouch.
I like Bobby, but I could easily see him sacrificing himself for the common good. Well, Cas, too, but Cas doesn't have a bullet he contemplates on a daily basis (that we know of).
