The main issue with the code as implemented is that the third block is
indented under an 'else' when it doesn't need to be. If we followed that
pattern to the extreme the code would look like

if (condition1) {
    return foo;
} else {
    if (condition2) {
        return bar;
    } else {
        if (condition3)
            return baz;
    }
}

instead of

if (condition1)
    return foo;
if (condition2)
    return bar;
if (condition3)
    return baz;

Thanks,
