oust

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

'show those in power the door' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in bayou state' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OUST' is hidden within 'bayou state'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Force out; supplant" , "Unseat" , "Force from office" , "Remove from a position or office" , "Turf out" .)
