Parody finishes with the raising of spades (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

send-up

'parody' is the definition.
(I know that parody can be written as send-up)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for send-up that I've seen before include "Spoof - jail" , "Mockery" , "Parody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
