If the worst possible thing happens; if a situation develops in the most serious or unpleasant way. If the worst possible outcome occurs. This expression is often followed by a solution.
We should be home when you arrive, but worse comes to worst, the neighbours have a spare key and will let you into the house.
If worse comes to worst and Mr. Jones loses the house, he will send his family to his mother's farm.
If worse comes to worst, we shall close the school for a few days.
If worse comes to worst and the budget is not approved, the government will shut down.
Go ahead and go to school with a cold; worse comes to worst the teacher will send you home.
