It's just a part of the act (5)

I believe the answer is:

scene

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

'part of the act' is the definition.
('scene' is part of 'act')

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Vista or stage setting" , "Picture" , "Display of emotion" , "Subdivision of act in play" , "Aspect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
