Torrential Tribute vs Gravekeeper's Spy

Hello

I play a Gravekeeper deck so have a Spy which when flipped, allows me to search my deck for another Gravekeeper monster and special summon it to the field.

If in my turn, I flip summon Gravekeeper's Spy and my opponent chains with Torential Tribute to destroy all monsters on the field, what is the order of events? Here is what I think would happen...

1 - I get priority as Turn Player so using the Flip Effect is Step 1 of the chain.

2 - TT becomes Step 2 of the chain.

3 - TT resolves first and destroys all monsters on the field.

4 - Spy then resolves and I can special summon a Gravekeeper monster onto the field.

Sounds good to me...

Thanks

If you flip summon Gravekeeper's Spy and your opponent responds to the flip summon with Torrential Tribute (no telling why they'd not wait until you special summon)....

Gravekeeper's Spy flip effect is chain link 1
Torrential Tribute is chain link 2

Resolve backwards...

Torrential Tribute resolves destroying all monsters on the field (chain link 2)

Just remember that if your Gravekeeper's Spy is attacked and flipped your opponent cannont activate Torrential Tribute to the special summon of your new Gravekeeper monster via Gravekeeper's Spy as it is in the damage step.

Gravekeeper's Spy resolves and special summons your new Gravekeeper monster (chain link 1)
 
resove issues

if my oponent summons a monster an i activate bottomless trap hole then they activate torrential tribute,how does it resolve.
 
The chain will look like this:

Player B summons a monster with equal or greater than 1500 ATK
Player B passes priority to Player A
Chain Link 1: Player A responds with Bottomless Trap Hole
Chain Link 2: Player B chains TT

Resolution:
Chain Link 2: All monsters on the field are destroyed.
Chain Link 1: BTH effect disappears.
 
In the original example though, if your opponent was smart, he'd wait until after Spy had resolved and the monster summoned to then activate "Torrential Tribute" (the timing is still correct) in order to blast that monster off the field as well.
