Unfortunately the eva suits were also on the ground. The mission was not configured for eva. The cargo bay was full of experiment modules.

AFAIK ... No way in, no way out.

I guess they truly were doomed. Hindsights 20/20 I guess but it would seem like they would stow at least one suit just in case. I think there's a few things they could rethink in the future that would give them more flexibility for dealing with such situations in the future. It's really kind of surprising just how limited their options were.
