come good
Turn out well
Come good means to turn out well after difficulty or uncertainty, or for someone to fulfill expectations after a slow start.
Chiefly British and Australian: The project looked doomed, but it came good in the end.
Give him time—he'll come good eventually.
The phrase suggests patience rewarded, a rough patch resolved.
