By the time Victoria shows up with the passports for the surprise vacation Willy shows up with his passport and Victoria's for a quick escape and Carlos shows up with a pair of forged passports to help Laurel and Peter escape. Everybody is in an ungodly mess the police may close in any minute all concerned are fearfully mistaken about everyone else's motives and loyalties and doom shame and prison stare them all in the face.
