Your father made you and then abandoned you, so you pray. You see signs where there's nothing. But truth is, your Apocalypse came and went, and you didn't even notice. A mother would never abandon her children like he did. You'll see. – Eve, 6.16 ...And Then There Were None

Eve is the mother of a bloodline, the birthing entity at the moment of genesis for all the lines of monsterdom. So the Eve of monsters. And even being a pun - like the "eve of monsters" because there's a monster world she's moving towards. – Ben Edlund, Source

The sacrifice to raise Eve from Purgatory

Dragons are abducting young women (virgins) and keeping them captive in a sewer. Dean obtains the Sword Of Bruncvik and he and Sam track down the dragon's lair, finding a pile of gold, and the women. They also find an ancient manuscript which speaks of freeing Mother from Purgatory. Sam and Dean kill one of the Dragon but one escapes. He meets up with another dragon who has also captured a half dozen women. They take one of the women and use an incantation to open a door to Purgatory. They throw the woman in, and she rises again, her body now inhabited by Eve.

Eve captured on camera

Eve creates a being—called colloquially the Khan Worm—that can enter a person's body through the ear and control their actions. She plants it inside a trucker, who goes on to murder his entire family with a hammer. It then passes to one of his co-workers, who kills six people. While investigating the murders, it infects Dean, who kills his cousin Gwen, and then infects Samuel, forcing Sam to kill him. Finally, it infects Bobby, who kills Rufus. While the worm is possessing Bobby, it tells Dean and Sam that it is a new monster recently created by Eve, and that Eve intends for supernatural beings to take over the world. She also has a message for them that the worm relates: "She's pissed, she's here, and it's going to be nothing but pain for you from here on in."

6.19 Mommy Dearest

Being to tell them where she is. Castiel tracks down Lenore] the vampire, who describes how she along with the others in her nest have been unabel to resist Eve's çall to arms', and that thrugh them, Eve will know what the Winchesters are up to. She tells where Eve is, and then begs to be killed so she doesn't kill again. Castiel obliges.

The Winchesters, Bobby and Castiel arrive in Grants Pass, Oregon, where Eve is experimenting with creating hybrid monsters - Jefferson Starships as Dean calls them. Castiel finds himself blocked from using his angelic powers by Eve. When he Bobby and Sam are taken hostage by monsters disguised as police, Dean rescues them. While the Cas and Bobby try and find Eve's location from one of the creatures, Sam and Dean take two orphaned boys - Joe and Ryan Silver - they find to relatives in nearby town for safety.

On returning they track Eve to a diner, but she captures them. She morphs into Mary Winchester to emphasise that what she did was "a mother's love". explains that her actions in rising from Purgatory, and mobilising all the supernatural beings is in reaction to Crowley capturing and torturing 'her children'. She speculates that Crowley is after the souls from Purgatory as together they would form a powerful weapon. her plan is to turn all humans into monsters so that they go to Purgatory rather than Hell. She reveals she has built the perfect monster, one that will be undetected, and Sam and Dean have just helped release it into the world in the form of young Ryan Silver.

She asks Sam and Dean to help her find Crowley. They refuse and when she threatens to turn them, Dean taunts her and she botes him. However Dean had earlier consumed some of the Phoenix ash mixed with whiskey, and it's now in his blood. Eve staggers back, and dies.

Eve in Lore

The Abrahamic religions involve a primary female figure in their lore. In the Old Testament (primarily the Book of Genesis), Eve is said to be the first woman created, and her disobedience of God's instruction (eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) leads to the expulsion of herself and Adam from the Garden of Eden.

• Wikipedia entry on Eve

Roman Catholicism venerates Mary, the mother of Jesus, and refers to her as Mother of the Church and Queen of Heaven.

The concept of a Mother Goddess is found in cultures around the world in many forms. It is often theorised that matriarchal religions, those that worshiped a female deity, proceeded the patriarchal religions such as the Abrahamic ones (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) that worshiped a male one (God). Other religious traditions focus on the balance of the masculine and feminine within a deity or deities.

Some interpretations of European dragon myths read them as symbolising the battle of patriarchal religions to defeat the old Mother Goddess religions (represented by the dragon), with women reduced to powerless women that need to be rescued. Source.

Echidna - daughter of Gaia also known as mother nature - is a Greek goddess who is also known as the "Mother of All Monsters" because she was the source of all the monstrous creatures in Greek mythology Source.

Another predominant mother goddess of ancient peoples was Asherah. In early Judaic religions, she was worshiped alongside the God of Israel as his consort, though her history extends much further back. She is also known by the name "Rabat Chawat Elat" or "Great Lady Eve the Goddess", among many others. Her symbol was the serpent. This was said to represent wisdom, healing, and immortality. Another of her symbols was the Tree of Life. She is believed to have inspired the character of Eve in the Genesis myth.
