Man, now you all have me positively convinced this is going to happen.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Fuck the narrative if it wants Bobby dead. That ain't right.
Fuck the narrative
So, how does that work? Is the narrative a he or a she?
Dealer's choice, I imagine.
Narratively, Bobby needs to bite it.
See. Now it's Plei's fault when he dies.
Plei, just out of morbid (heh) curiosity, what do you see as the main narrative need for Bobby's death? Is it that Dean needs to lose everything before taking on the apocalypse, or that (assuming the hypothetical death is at Sam's hands) Dean needs something to show him that Sam is (hypothetically) past redemption?
Disclaimer: All of the above is merely speculation. BOBBY WILL NOT DIE. I am merely engaging in hypotheticals. Or planning for an AU fic. Something like that. Jilli's spoilers are 100% correct. They are theyaretheyare....
I won't even mention how I can see how it might work out to where it is Dean who kills Bobby either to stop Bobby from killing Sam or because Bobby is already mortally wounded.

If you buy into the notion that Supernatural is structured like a tragedy, which I do, and if we're entering the last act, which is the hypothetical plan, Bobby is more valuable dead than alive.
Ow. Shades of Bill Harvelle and John,
there, Perkins.
Oh god, Perkins is evil, too.
