Some bleak outcomes emerge (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

leak out

'emerge' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some bleak outcomes' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'LEAK OUT' is hidden within 'bleak outcomes'.

(Another definition for leak out that I've seen is " Become known despite effort ot maintain secrecy".)
