Oh alright, here's the full deal. East's bidding (he probably has six hearts) and defence suggest that he may be short in clubs. If the clubs are 4-1 then there are two ways in which we might get home in a sort of non Belladonna/Kreijns way. Either by finding a singleton spadeK or by ruffing a club in dummy and praying for divine intervention. The latter will require a club to be led from dummy, for if we cashed the clubA and it was ruffed, we might be two light.
