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

'stops behaving foolishly with a series' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'directions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'directions' could be 'ns' (N is an example) and 'ns' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sees sense that I've seen before include "not being foolhardy" , "Reasons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
