What would 2H have been on the first round?
Assuming that is a fitted jump (showing perhaps 5+ hearts and 4+ clubs, and F1) I would have tried that, then 5NT perhaps over whatever partner did, except maybe 3C. I don't need much for the grand slam to be good (Axxx of clubs and a Hx in hearts, or even a stiff K? Perhaps?).
If it's not that I want to make a forcing raise then bid lots of hearts.

Not sure we have discussed it, but I believe 2♥ would be a wjs.
What forcing bids are even available?

you have 3♦ and 3♠ as forcing now, I'd try 3♦ and hear something from partner. Probably nothing useful and I will try 4♠ next and 5♥ later.

I would have bid 5NT, PAS directly. Im vul and they are not so Im not going to help them find a cheap sure save. If they save its going to be a guess.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
