Time-stands-still-pt-1-9

In Time Stands Still (1), after Spinner and Jimmy threw Rick into a dumpster, Rick gets revenge on them by tagging an X on both Spinner and Jay's cars along with Sean's and Alex's. They both decide to get revenge by ruining Rick's appearance on the Whack Your Brain show by pouring paint and feathers on him.

In Time Stands Still (2), still covered in paint, Rick goes into a restroom and begins to clean up. When Spinner and Jay walk into the same restroom, Rick hides and Spinner and Jay begin talking about the event. Noticing Rick is in one of the stalls, Jay turns the blame from themselves to Jimmy, and Spinner goes along with it, both of them implying the prank would have been impossible without Jimmy. When they find out Jimmy was shot, Spinner became very scared and guilt ridden, but Jay tells him not to tell anyone that they caused it to happen.

In Eye of the Tiger, Spinner and Jay get drunk off rum and coke after Spinner's friends abandoned him. Later, the two get expelled because of the prank they pulled.

Season 9[]

In Degrassi Takes Manhattan, Spinner is seen putting all of Jane's things into boxes and is being depressed and mopey. Then, all of a sudden, Manny, Jay, and Emma break into his apartment, and pretty much kidnap him. He wants to know where he is going, but they insist that it's a surprise to cheer him up. The guys take Spin to Niagara Falls, to gamble and have a fun time. Manny and Jay's intentions are to get their friends Emma and Spinner together, so they leave them to be at the casino tables. A few moments later, Jay is worried that they should go stay and hang with them, but Manny tells him that they should let them be. The next morning, Manny knocks on Spinner's door to wake him up and go get breakfast with everyone, and she notices that Spinner is half-naked, and Emma in a veil. Manny feels this is awkward, and she asks Emma if that's a veil she's wearing on her head. Then Jay walks in.

Spinner and Emma tell them that they woke up and found a wedding picture of them, and saw a ring on her hand. Manny and Jay tell them to get dressed and come downstairs to see if they can get a refund on the ring and veil, and to see if they can get "divorced". They get dressed and they all go down to the casino again and confront the crazy lady that married them. Manny, a little frightened of the lady, clutches onto Jay and asks if they can get a refund. The lady tells them "no", and tells them that they got a good price, $2,000 for the ring and over $500 for the dress, which was the money winnings Emma and Spinner won from playing. The day they get back, Manny and Jay go to Spin's apartment for a few minutes to ask him if they want them to get them a divorce lawyer. A day or two later, they're home and Emma has Manny over her house. She tells Manny that she and Spinner are actually in love, and that they want to get married. At Emma and Spinner's wedding, Jay marries them.

Conflict History[]

In Redemption Song, when the Friendship Club spends a day at the beach, Spinner and Darcy get into a fight and Spinner calls for Jay to pick him up. When Jay arrives, he is instantly attracted to the other Christian girls in the Friendship Club and decides to stay for a while. This causes Spinner to be annoyed. He tells Jay that he only gets to eat one hot dog, no drinking beer, keep his mouth shut and keep "something else" in his pants.

Jay tells Spinner that the Friendship Club is stupid and that it was changing Spinner into a different person. He then manipulates Darcy by telling her that Spinner will start falling for Manny again if Darcy doesn't have sex with him soon. Spinner later finds Darcy crying and asks her what Jay had told her. He finds Jay, beats him up, and tells him he never wants to see him againā€”all he's done is ruin everything in his life, first with Jimmy and now Darcy.
