Preflop calling 78o is not great, especially against an UTG raiser, but the two other callers are giving you decent odds. Its decided early with either a long shot hit, but mostly its a fold. Marginally at best.

Hero gets a small piece of the flop, but not enough to raise. Barely enough to call. I like the check.

The turn brings the in the flush draw, and makes the two pair questionable. Several have suggested rasing, but Hero is OOP and this is a classic reason not to play OOP. If Hero raises, what does he do if villian re-raises? Is Villain bluffing or does she have the flush? There is no way to tell.  Best to check again, IMHO.

Things change on the river. Now anyone with a spade has a flush. The question is, "How big is ones spade?" There is no reason not to raise.  Anyone without a high spade is not calling or likely betting. As the cards lay, the the ace of spades would raise and Hero now has the same problem but with a bigger pot and a much easier shove with the near nuts. I like a raise on the flop.
