I keep using this dictionary but I don't know what does it means. The first one I know is the gender and the last one is the plural form but how about the middle one.

-(e)s

    This is a duplicate question. Read the answer to the linked question to learn details. Here the short answer: Nominativ singular: »der Plan«. Genitiv singular: »des Planes« or »des Plans« (two different genitive forms). Nominativ plural: »die Pläne« (The dot in the word marks syllable borders). – Hubert Schölnast May 06 '18 at 08:16

    Practically, it shouldn’t make a difference for this question, but the other question is in German, so we do not technically consider it a duplicate. – Carsten S May 06 '18 at 11:02

The part behind the article is the genitive ending as already commented.

»Was fällt dir zu Politik ein?«
»Verarschung ist Teil des Plan[e]s.«

The optional »e« is rarely used.
