Playing with a pickup partner you have a minorwood misunderstanding... partner understood that you played it and you had no idea.

well based on the first few tricks it looks like we are playing a suit contract presumably ♦ but probably ♥ based on the title?

I think starting with a club ruff is best. Does RHO drop an honour on this?

You can play for a singleton ♦Q or, more likely, any doubleton ♦Q onside.
Ruff a ♣ and depending on whether RHO drops the ♣Q or ♣K, in which case discard a ♣ on the second high ♥, but otherwise a ♠.
Now ruff a ♥ and ruff your remaining black suit loser with the ♦J.
Finally finesse against the ♦Q, unless RHO could have over-ruffed, but did not, in which case play the ♦K on the first round.
If RHO is 3=4=2=4 and fools you by dropping the ♣ honor from ♣Hxxx on the first ♣ ruff and subsequently over-ruffs your ♠ with the ♦Q congratulate him for a brilliant defense.
