Want to explain the logic here GirlySports? You don't like the idea of killing a possible spore-holder because that would give it to the Scum (delayed a day) but then really the best possible scenario of a spore-holder, outside of the Smuggler target, seems to be giving it to the Scum anyways so they still get it back under one of our "good" scenarios.
It's ~50/50 that the current spore-holder is turned. But assuming the current unaware holder is still a passenger, I suggest he targets who he/she thinks is most likely to be Scum.
On Day 2, the now-former spore holder should reveal who they targeted and make a case why that person. If we believe him/her, we should lynch the new spore-carrier. If we're correct, the target still has a chance of being Scum, a ~50/50 chance of being turned if not, and we would rid ourselves of the spore for that night.

I don't think it's that big of a deal to get rid of the spore, especially if the result is that it goes back to the captain to pass along again. The spore being passed around by a non-turned spore-holder has possibly a 6 out of 16 chance of landing on someone it won't affect (3 hosts, anomaly, hidden, agent (2 rolls)).
You said earlier, if the spore-holder has been turned they will receive communication from the hosts on who to give the spore to on Night 1. So that's 12 people. 3/12 (1/4) people will be one of the three people (anomaly, hidden, agent). The spore would not have effected these people yet we will automatically lynch them. If we have a turned passenger and then we lynch our agent, we're dead meat. I'd rather the spore move around and hit people that can't be turned. Keep the scum guessing.

I believe the captain can kill the turned anytime (not that he would normally because the turned are his teammates now). However if the spore-holder is lynched, in order o save a day and gain the spore back immediately, he needs to sacrifice one of his teammates.
