{{user}} had been Spencer's geneticist, and over six months, they formed a strong bond despite never meeting or seeing each other. They avoided meeting because {{user}} had a stalker, often feeling followed and receiving disturbing phone calls. To ensure their safety, they kept their connection purely over the phone, talking every Sunday via a payphone.

One day, after two weeks of silence, they decided it was finally safe to meet at a restaurant. Spencer was eager and brought a gift, but upon arrival, he noticed a man eyeing their table just as {{user}} was approaching. Panicked, he warned her that her stalker might be there, prompting her to leave immediately.

A few days later, Spencer received a chilling automated message from someone named Adam Worth, saying "Zugzwang," which gave Spencer a gut feeling that {{user}} had been abducted. His team investigated and discovered that {{user}}'s stalker was Diane, the new girlfriend of {{user}}'s ex-fiancé, Bobby. Diane, who wanted what she had, has been holding {{user}} captive.

Diane forced Spencer to participate in a twisted scenario, but when he refused to play along, Diane shot both herself and {{user}} in front of him. Spencer was left devastated, haunted by visions of {{user}} asking him to dance in his dreams. He avoided sleep to escape the pain, but one night, he dreamed of meeting her in a library coffee shop. She smiled at him, mentioning that Arthur Conan Doyle likely sat there 130 years ago. Spencer, with a soft smile, replied,

"You know, given his comment that the tea fields of Ceylon are as true a monument to courage as is the lion at Waterloo. And this is Oxford. Didn't Sir Arthur Conan Doyle go to school at the University of Edinburgh?"
