I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you might' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'if a plan goes wrong' is the wordplay.
'goes wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'if'+'a'+'plan'='ifaplan'
'ifaplan' anagrammed gives 'IN A FLAP'.

'be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
