A predicament shows promise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plight

This clue is a double definition.

'a predicament' is the first definition.
(I know that predicament can be written as plight)

'promise' is the second definition.
(I know that plight is a more specific form of the action the vow)

'shows' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plight that I've seen before include "Pledge; predicament" , "Serious predicament" , "A serious or difficult situation" , "Promise - trouble" , "Dangerous or difficult situation" .)
