If you’re a fan of the classic holiday movie, Christmas Vacation, you may have noticed that Cousin Vicki seems to disappear towards the end of the film. So, where was she?
To answer this question, we need to first understand who Cousin Vicki is and her role in the movie. Cousin Vicki is the daughter of Clark Griswold’s wife’s brother and is portrayed as an annoying and unruly child throughout the movie.
In one particular scene, Cousin Vicki announces that she has a boyfriend named “Rocky” and plans to run away with him. This scene takes place towards the beginning of the film and is significant because it sets up a later plot point in which Clark’s boss kidnaps his wife in an attempt to get back at Clark for his incompetence at work.
After this scene, Cousin Vicki seems to disappear from the movie altogether. However, if you pay close attention to the end credits, you’ll notice that there is a brief scene showing Cousin Vicki getting dropped off at home by a police officer.
So why was she taken home by a police officer? The answer lies in another scene earlier in the movie where we see Cousin Eddie (another memorable character) emptying his RV’s chemical toilet into a storm drain. This act was illegal and caught the attention of law enforcement.
It turns out that Cousin Vicki had gone with Eddie on his RV trip and was present during this illegal act. When law enforcement caught up with them, they took both Eddie and Cousin Vicki into custody. However, since Cousin Vicki was just a child and not responsible for her actions like Eddie was, she was dropped off at home instead of facing any legal consequences.
In conclusion, while it may seem like Cousin Vicki disappears from Christmas Vacation towards the end of the film, there is actually an explanation for her absence involving her involvement in a crime committed by Cousin Eddie. The brief scene during the end credits helps to tie up this loose end and provide closure for viewers who may have been wondering where she went.
