Bobby knows far more than he's ever let on. He knows exactly what Sam is, what's in John's blood, why Mary had to die, why Jessica couldn't live once Sam realized how deeply he loved her.
He sees in Dean something John and Sam never had, but Mary did. He bets Jessica did, too.
John is a creature of the darkness, though he doesn't know it. And John's blood overwhelmed Mary in their younger boy. But Dean—he has sunshine in his smile, in his eyes.
Mary and Jessica would have kept John and Sam in the light, and only John's blood in Dean has let him live so long. The darkness never lets its children go. Its claim is forever.
Bobby knows, has always known. And he'll help John's boys, because Dean has a light like Bobby's never seen before. Maybe, if he shines bright enough, he'll save Sam.
Maybe, Bobby helping these two will make up for all those he left to die.
