'they might go through' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'recalled sullen nutritionist revealing' is the wordplay.
'recalled' is a reversal indicator (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'revealing' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'lennut' can be found hidden inside 'sullen nutritionist'.
'lennut' reversed gives 'TUNNEL'.

'what' is the link.
