A lot of people have died on ‘Supernatural’, but one of them is coming back, at least for one episode.
According to Variety, Jim Beaver will be reprising his role as Bobby Singer for the episode Inside Man that airs April 1.
Sam and Cass need some help from someone in heaven and who else would they turn to? Bobby of course.
Bobby was a father figure to Sam and Dean and saved their lives a lot. Even if it was just setting them right on cases. In season three, A Very Merry Christmas, Sam and Dean thought they were dealing with an evil Santa Clause. Bobby called them idiots and set them straight. They were dealing with Pagan gods. Technically Bobby didn’t even appear in the episode, but his presence was still known.
I’d never heard the word ‘igit‘ before Bobby called Sam and Dean igits and now I miss hearing him say that word. He better call Sam and Dean igits at one point in the episode.
Even when Bobby died he couldn’t leave the boys. He stayed as a ghost to protect them. He risked becoming the thing they hunt just to keep an eye on his boys. It wasn’t easy for Sam, Dean or Bobby to let go. After John died, Bobby was their only family.
There’s been a lot of loss on ‘Supernatural’. It was hard watching Ellen and Jo die. Jo knew she wasn’t going to make it so she wanted to give the Winchesters ahead start on the devil. Ellen couldn’t let her daughter die alone, so she stayed with her. That was a very tough and emotional episode to get through. Especially when Bobby burned the photograph of all of them.
It wasn’t nearly as bad as when Bobby died though. He was a great hunter and a great mentor for the boys. No matter what he always stood by them. Even when he was so mad at Dean for selling his soul for Sam.
When Bobby was possessed by a demon he still couldn’t kill them. He took back control of his body and stabbed himself before the demon was able to kill Sam.
Bobby always did whatever it took to save the Winchester boys. It will be great to have him back, even if it is only for one episode.
