performs an operation on young Jack Manning that saves the boy's life;
Spencer befriends Jack's mother Blair Cramer, and the two soon become
romantically involved. Blair, however, is still emotionally wrapped up
with her ex-husband, Todd Manning. Obsessed with winning Blair's love
for himself, Spencer frames Todd for the murder of Margaret Cochran.
Throughout Todd's grueling murder trial, Spencer finally makes Blair
question Todd's innocence and seduces her. Todd is convicted of murder
and sent to death row; he is actually executed and declared dead when
Police Detective John McBain appears with the very much alive
Margaret. Spencer manages to revive Todd. In addition to faking
Margaret's death, Spencer had secretly delivered her son, whose
biological father is Todd. Spencer blackmails Paige into helping him
and keeping the secret. Spencer had murdered John and Dr. Michael
McBain's father, Thomas McBain, 25 years earlier and had managed to
convince both David and Paige that they had been complicit. Spencer
puts Todd and Margaret's baby up for adoption, and the boy ends up
with Michael McBain and his wife Marcie Walsh, who are unaware of his
origins.Spencer's true motivation for returning to Llanview is
revealed to be a vendetta against Asa Buchanan. David and Spencer's
mother Emma Bradley-Truman had been one of Asa's wife Renee Divine's
bordello girls, and on her deathbed had told Spencer that Asa is his
biological father. Spencer vows destroy Asa's family piece by piece.
Eventually, Blair catches on to Spencer's crimes, and after Todd's
failed execution becomes determined to redeem herself in Todd's eyes
and stop Spencer once and for all. She spies on Spencer, drugging him
and recording their conversations in hopes that he will slip up and
incriminate himself. Ultimately, Blair and John McBain succeed in
getting Spencer jailed; he confronts Asa about his paternity, but the
results of a DNA test showed that he is not Asa's son. Spencer seems
to suffer a psychological breakdown. He makes an insanity plea,
fooling court-appointed psychiatrist Marty Saybrooke into believing he
is unfit to stand trial. A vengeful Todd abducts Spencer, determined
to torture him to death, but ends up sending Spencer and Blair off a
building rooftop by accident. While recuperating in the hospital in
early 2007, Spencer descends deeper and deeper into his own private
obsession, obsessing over Blair. One night he sneaks into Blair's
nearby hospital room, drugging her and preparing to marry her, but is
murdered during the attempt on January 26, 2007. The killer is
ultimately revealed to be Lindsay Rappaport, who had killed Spencer to
protect Marcie McBain, whom she loved like a daughter, from losing her
adopted son Tommy should the truth come out that he is actually Todd's
son.
