5 ???

What does partner action over 4 (after having passed 4) mean? What would you bid now?

Pass + 4 sounds like weaker than an immediate 4.

So now I pass.

Maybe this should show spades and clubs, as opposed to a direct 4 bid which would show spades only?

After a gambling 3NT you can't show 2 suits. Partner only showed and a weaker hand than an immediate 4 call. Since I'm pretty sure 4 would've been defeated, I sure as hell wouldn't bid 5.

There's not much gain in doubling either, so I guess pass stands out.
