Synopsis
Ed Bright and his friend Marshall Todd are leaving a sports bar in Grants Pass, Oregon, as Eve approaches. Ed clumsily flirts with her. She touches his face and leaves, entering the bar. Inside the bar Eve locks the door and breaks off the handles. She then proceeds to touch people's faces, turning everyone into hybrids monsters and provoking a mass feeding frenzy while she picks up a drink and watches.
Dean is packing the ashes of the Phoenix into shotgun shells to use against Eve, but they have no idea of her location. They call on Castiel to help them track down a monster who may be able to help them. Castiel returns with Lenore the vampire, who describes how she along with the others in her nest have been unable to resist Eve's call to arms, and that through them, Eve will know what the Winchesters are up to. She tells them where Eve is, and then begs to be killed so she doesn't murder again. Sam and Dean are reluctant but Castiel obliges.
When Dean, Sam, Bobby and Castiel arrive in Grants Pass, Castiel finds that he has been blocked from using his angelic powers, by Eve. However they manage to they find that Ed Bright had attended a doctor - Dr Silver - who had subsequently reported his illness to the Centre for Disease Control. At the doctor's surgery Dean and Castiel find Bright's decomposing body. At Bright's home, Dean and Sam find a roomful of dead bodies that all look like Ed Bright - obviously some form of Shapeshifter. One is still alive - Ed's friend Marshall Todd - who tells them about the woman who passed them at the bar.
At the bar, they find everyone dead. On examination Dean finds they have strange attributes - one has Vampire teeth, as well as the spike of a Wraith. Dean dubs these hybrids Jefferson Starships. It appears some fever had killed them all. Castiel, Bobby and Sam are taken hostage by monsters disguised as police, but Dean rescues them.
Sam and Dean find two orphaned boys at the station - Joe and Ryan Silver - and over Castiel's objections, drive them to their uncle's home in nearby Merritt. In their absence, Castiel interrogates one of Eve's children, learning her exact whereabouts.
With Bobby and Castiel waiting outside, the brothers enter the diner in which Eve is hiding and discover that they are surrounded by hybrids and Eve herself confronts them in the guise of a waitress. Eve takes their weapons and detects Phoenix ash in the shotguns, so she hands them over to one her children and orders their immediate disposal. She then explains to the boys the reason she's on Earth and what she hopes to achieve. To emphasize her point, she transforms into the likeness of Mary Winchester and tells them that every action she's taken has been because of "a mother's love".
Eve goes on to explain that she had been satisfied with the balance between mankind and monsters, but since her children started being captured and tortured by Crowley, she had decided to rise up from Purgatory and retaliate. Dean is quick to point out that her arrival was pointless, as Crowley had already been dealt with months ago.

But to cripple his plans, Eve intends to turn the whole world into monsters so that she can "see how hot his hell burns when all your souls come to me". She has been using the town as a test-bed to create a new type of monster which she wants to use to convert all of humanity. Several of her early experiments resulted in failure as the creatures died prematurely.
Eve then informs them of the "perfect monster" she has created in the form of Ryan Silver and of the mass-infection that they inadvertently helped spread. Her bodyguards bring Castiel and Bobby into the diner, and informs Castiel that he can't use his powers because they're being halted by Eve due to her age advantage.
