Twist in plot around November (4)
I believe the answer is:
bend
'twist' is the definition.
('bend' can be a synonym of 'twist')
'plot around november' is the wordplay.
'plot' becomes 'bed' (bed is a kind of plot).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'november' becomes 'n' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'bed' enclosing 'n' is 'BEND'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for bend that I've seen before include "Form a curve" , "Turn, flex" , "Arc" , "Influence, bow" , "Dish of raw vegetables" .)
