Great question. The phrase "came in" here is being used in an informal way to mean "happened". "Came in" is often used in this way to talk about when a person gets involved in a situation, plan, discussion or event. Ex: We need expert advise, and that's where you come in. Ex: I'm not sure when he came in on the plans.
