repacks

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

'prepares to go home?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'after frolic around kansas' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'frolic' becomes 'caper' (synonyms).
'around' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'kansas' becomes 'KS' (abbreviation).
'caper' reversed gives 'repac'.
'repac'+'ks' is 'REPACKS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for repacks that I've seen is " Once more fills".)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
