I believe the answer is:

nerve

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

'finds bottle' is the definition.
'nerve' can be an answer for 'bottle' (both can mean courage). I'm unsure of the 'finds' bit.

'owner finally entering flat turned' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'flat' becomes 'even' (level).
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
The last letter of 'owner' is 'r'.
'r' put within 'even' is 'evren'.
'evren' reversed gives 'NERVE'.

'over' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
