Can you add an "abstain" option to the third question?

Clear double as the first bid, I double again, hey maybe partner wants a piece of 3 I've nice pointy cards for that.

If I bid 3d I pass now, I'd never expect 4 in the hand if you overcalled then doubled, more like a 1363 and good pointy cards giving partner a chance at penalty passing, or punting 3nt with a spade stopped and a useful diamond holding.

I would double then double. Overcalling 3D is not a bridge action.

I agree with JLogic, but put "something else" for the third option...

Double twice.
