'''Spencer Gilman''' is [[Isaac Gilman]]'s son. Spencer shares [[Bree]]'s love of science, prompting his father to suggest that he mentor Bree. He also enjoys tennis, chess, music, and video blogging.

==Background==
Spencer works for [[Neutrogena]] and was recognized as the Employee of the Month in July of 2007 [http://www.neutrogena.com/spencer.asp]. He is a Research Scientist who has been with the company for three years. He received his B.S. in Biochemistry from UCSD in a record three years, graduating in 2004. His area of study was ribozymes with a special focus on autocatalysis.

===A Call For Help===
[[Image:0222-SpencerExtremeCloseup.JPG|thumb|left|Spencer struggles with his webcam.]]
Through investigative work and help from members of the [[forum]]s, [[Taylor]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] were able to track down Spencer's [[MySpace]] and e-mail accounts and urged fans to contact him. They hoped that Spencer would have information about the serum his father, [[Isaac Gilman]], was making to help make [[Bree]] "Trait Negative."

When confronted, however, [[What Up Blogosphere!|Spencer replied]], ''"although I'm a scientist like him, I have no idea what compound you guys are talking about. So . . . Everyone. Stop. Trying. To. Contact. Me. I've spent the last several months of my life mourning over the loss of my father. All these questions you guys are asking bring up some sad memories of him."''

Nevertheless, community members along with Jonas and [[Nikki Bower]] continue to sent him messages asking for help. After Daniel and [[Sarah]] [[All Wet|discovered]] the papers of Spencer's father in a Resistance time capsule, Spencer participates in an online chat ans reads a letter from his father. As a result, he became more sympathetic to the [[TAAG]]'s cause, [[I'm Here To Help|saying]] ''"I know I said I didn't want to get involved in all this stuff, but after reading my Dad's papers, I kind of feel like it's the right thing to do. My Dad would want me to help . . ."''

===The Trait-Negative Serum===
[[Image:0230-SpencerAndTaylor.jpg|thumb|right|Spencer and Taylor bond.]]
Once Spencer agrees to help, TAAG go to the Neutrogena building and wait in the parking lot, making Taylor wonder if they'll make him mad for intruding on his work. When he finally leaves the building, Jonas and Sarah accost him, Jonas trying to explain what is going on and Sarah injecting her own comments in, annoying Jonas. Spencer tells TAAG they have to move their car out of the private lot otherwise he'll get in trouble. Afterwards, Spencer and Taylor [[The Bree Solution|bond]] over a plate of cheese and crackers, and deduce that there is a formula for a trait-negative serum somewhere in Isaac Gilman's notes, but they were unable to read it as Sarah accidentally got the documents wet when she was retrieving them.

With the help of members of the forum, TAAG discovers that they can create the serum using trait-positive blood. With the help of a [[Alex|mole]] from inside the Hymn of One, they are able to locate where it is being stored, and Spencer proceeds to train TAAG on how to perform their designated tasks in the break-in. The [[Mission Possible|operation]] goes off without a hitch, and they retrieve the blood. Spencer borrows a lab from his friend [[Ira Cronenberg]], and he and Taylor [[The Serum|get to work]] and make two vials of the serum. Soon After, a Shadow [[They Broke In!!!|breaks into the lab]] and ruins the research, though he is unable to destroy the serum after Spencer locks it in a metal cabinet.

On the day of Bree's ceremony, Spencer lags behind in getting ready, causing the rising tensions between Sarah and Jonas to [[lonelygirl15 Season Finale 1 of 12 – 8 am|come to a boil]]. After they are [[lonelygirl15 Season Finale 2 of 12 – 9 am|found]] by [[Bree's Watcher]], TAAG takes part in a high-speed chase that ultimately results in a [[lonelygirl15 Season Finale 3 of 12 – 10 am|car accident]]. The accident smashes the serum, though Spencer [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 6 of 12 - 1 pm|still has]] the backup stored at his friend's lab. Sarah goes back to get it, and the others [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 7 of 12 - 2 pm|head to]] the airplane hanger that [[Beth|Deep Throat]] said The Ceremony would be in. Spencer figures out that playing a certain sequence of musical notes will open the entrance, and programs the keys into his cell phone.

===Trial and Error===
Spencer doesn't have much involvement in Bree's rescue beyond this point, and [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 10 of 12 – 5 pm|watches alongside]] Taylor and Sarah and Bree dies. Spencer is the one holding the camera in [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 12 of 12 – 7 pm|the final video]] where Jonas plays a voicemail from Bree telling him she loves him. After Bree's death, Spencer spends the weekend moping around the house, and decides to go back to work in order to regain structure in his life. He posts [[The Unsolvable Formula|a blog]] telling community members to go easier on Taylor, who had come under fire for [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 11 of 12 – 6 pm|expressing her desire]] for Bree to die so that Jonas would pay attention to her, and cites that she was only sixteen and still had some growing up to do. He also reveals that he wanted to save Bree so badly because she was the one thing in his life that he couldn't find a scientific answer to.

[[Image:0264-SpencerInZavala.jpg|thumb|left|Spencer says farewell.]]
Spencer begins [[Back to Work|to miss]] Sarah and Taylor, and decides to visit them in Texas one last time bore going off to work. Spencer has a fun day hanging out with Taylor and bugging Sarah, but is informed by a video message from Taylor on his camera that he has to move on and can't try to live in the past. Spencer takes her advice and heads back to Los Angeles for work, bidding a fond farewell to the blogosphere, and reminds everyone of where he'll be if they want to go on another adventure.

Shortly after Spencer returned to work, Neutrogena sent him to Switzerland for a conference. Spencer begins [[Sister to Sister|texting]] Taylor from Switzerland, often leaving messages that are regarding swiss chocolate. After returning from the conference, he was [[Trait Negative|contacted]] by a girl named [[Charlie]] from the United Kingdom who was trying to find a way to make her friend [[Kate]] trait negative. Spencer tells her about the serum, and sends the remaining vial to her, which she [[Genevieve|successfully uses]] on Kate a few days later.

== Transcript ==
'''Gina:''' (''Sighs''.) So we're even more worried about [[Emma]] than ever. I'm more worried about her than ever. Elizabeth Avery showed up early this morning and... it was pretty insane.

(''Cut to Gina walking from her room to the living room. Elizabeth is talking to Jonas''.)

'''Elizabeth:''' You're running out of time. (''Coughs''.) I'm sorry.

(''Elizabeth continues to cough as she grabs a CD from her purse and sets it on the coffee table. Jonas grabs it and looks confused''.)

'''Jonas:''' What is this?

'''Gina:''' Elizabeth, you need a doctor.

'''Elizabeth:''' No! Uh, I don't matter, but Emma does. You have to help her. Watch it. (''Coughs''.) Please, find her. Do you hear me?

(''Jonas gets up and puts the CD in the laptop on the table. Cut to two people shrouded in black looking at a picture of Emma''.)

'''Gina:''' So Elizabeth said the footage came courtesy of [[Verdus Pharmaceuticals|Verdus]]'s private security cameras. There was a meeting last night. The [[Elder]]s had been getting impatient, until Emma's new [[Watcher]] contacted them. Apparently he has a lead. Emma ''will'' be found by the week's end.

(''Cut to Gina in her room''.)

'''Gina:''' I [[Things Fall Apart|gave her the money]] to go away, and now I feel really guilty. Like, maybe I shouldn't have. But a package came about an hour ago - from Emma. (''Grins''.) It was, like, the best news in the world. And now, we have our lead.

(''Cut to the TAAG sitting around the coffee table with the package from Emma''.)

'''Daniel:''' Nurse Gina, you getting this? (''Gina nods with the camera''.) Good. Scalpel.

(''Gina hands a pair of scissors to Daniel. Daniel plays with the scissors and leans down to the package''.)

'''Gina:''' This is the first time that we've heard of Emma since she left. Hurry up and open it.

'''Sarah:''' Wait a minute, you're not gonna take the necessary precautions?

'''Gina:''' Precautions?

'''Sarah:''' Yeah. I mean, what if this thing is filled with {{wikipedia|sarin}} gas or something similarly weird and culty? Like a booby trap!

'''Daniel:''' You [[pop culture references#References to television|watch]] way too much {{wikipedia|24_(TV_series)|24}}.

'''Sarah:'''That's because Kiefer's hot. (''Bites a pretzel''.)

'''Gina:''' Can someone open it already, please? I need to know if Emma's alright.

(''Jonas grabs the scissors from the table''.)

'''Jonas:''' Alright, here we go. (''Grabs the package and coughs''.) Here we go.

(''Jonas cuts open the package as everyone stands around nervously. Jonas begins to pull the contents out. Cut to Jennie as she picks up a pink sheet of paper from the table''.)

'''Jennie:''' A letter. Looks good. Is there anything else in the package?

(''Jonas shakes out the package and an object wrapped in bubble wrap falls out. Jonas flips it over to reveal a silver iPod Nano. Cut to Gina lying on her floor, holding the iPod''.)

'''Gina:''' So the iPod has a playlist on it...or what looks like a playlist. It's a weird jumble of numbers and letters. Maybe it's a way to locate her. We're gonna post the playlist and the letter on [[LG15.com]]. Guys, we need your help. Help us connect the dots. The quicker we can find out what all this means, the better chance we have of saving Emma from [[the Order]].

==Puzzle==
[[Image:0481-Emmas Letter.jpg|thumb|The letter. Click for full size version.]]
The solution to this puzzle is still '''in progress'''.

Jonas [http://lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=17376 posted] Emma's note and the iPod playlist on the [[forum]]s.
{{quote|Emma's Letter|
Jonas,
I know you're searching for me. Here's what I've been listening to lately. Can't be sure this playlist will fall into the wrong hands, but hopefully it will help you while you look. I shift it around my place a few times a day. Never more than four though. If you can't figure out why, this could be the end of your track.

Emma xoxo}}
