Yes, 3H. Why? My hand is totally useless as dummy, the hand with the opening bid won't be.

I would bid 3♥ trusting parter to know he should zip it.
I wouldn't use it with such a long suit, but there's also the redouble convention
1* P P X
P P XX <--- SOS partner, pick different suit
I don't know if that convention holds when there's an overcall and rebid like that though.

If my pard doesn't rescue me here, I will be leaving to walk our new dog.
EDIT as this is B/I. It seems quite likely that east may even hold a penalty pass of 1♠ !! I just pull to my 7 card suit and sometimes they may not be able to X that or I even make.

Hi,
Since the dog, with which to make a walk is living 300-400km away
and since I am the only one suggesting pass:
It is certainly partially systemic thing, but since I play forcing NT, my first
pass already denied 3 card support and +4HCP, also excluding weaker
hands with shape.
And knowing this, partner is bidding 2S.
Unless one thinks partner is not a grown up and knowes what he his
doing, I think pass is clear cut.
Partner will have a good 6 card suit, and at least one out side defence,
i.e. he will be able to make 6 tricks overall most of the time, ... without
my help.
Bidding 3H is only good, if we make 7 tricks, because otherwise it wont
be cheaper than 2S.
With kind regards
Marlowe

Yes, unless I have some reason to want revenge on partner for something earlier in the session 
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

unclear. yes pull, or yes agree with marlowe?. I think yes pull. East could have doubled last round for penalty--certainly not a responsive double opposite a balancing action. So East has pretty much nothing but good spades. I would not be surprised if pard has enough stuff to make 3H while 2S goes down. AXXXX AX X AQXX might go down one in 3H.
