spice and counters

Say I play arcane spell A with spell B spliced onto it. My opponent
counters A (which includes the splice of B). Does card B join A in the
graveyard? Or does B stay in my hand?

Thanks,
-Trevor.

Card B never left your hand. You just revealed it and added its text
onto spell A.

The *only* involvement card B has is that you have to show it to your
opponent. Other than that, card B is completely unaffected by and
unrelated to spell A and whatever may happen to it. Card B stays in
your hand.

B stays in your hand.

The spell on the stack had the A card under it, representing it; B was always
in your hand, but added its text to the A spell, so that it was a spell with
the text of A and of B both. That spell got countered; countering the spell
sent the card "under" it on the stack to your graveyard, but didn't do anything
to the card sitting over in your hand.
