As much as I like Bill, I hope he ends up dying at the end of the season. He has to be defeated sometime, and if it's not him, then it's one of the main characters, the Author, McGucket, or Waddles.

Also, Dipper and Mabel's parents won't die. Alex Hirsch already said that they'd be returning home at the end of the summer, which they wouldn't be able to do if their parents both died. Sure, they could live with other relatives or something, but Grunkle Stan already fits that category (although who knows what their relationship will be after A Tale of Two Stans).
