    In ActV sc1 we learn from Fabian that Sir Toby and Sir Andrew have been both badly injured by Sebastian the twin brother of Viola whom they mistook for Cesario (actually Viola) and challenged him for a duel. The badly injured Sir Andrew Aguecheek quits the play,remarking,"I'll help you, Sir Toby because we'll be dressed together."

    A little later we learn from Fabian that Sir Toby has married Maria in return for her part in humiliating Malvolio by writing the letter that made him believe that Olivia was in love with him.

    Malvolio is finally let out of the dark room. He is angrier than ever and true to his name -"ill will"- he quits the play angrily remarking,"I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you."
