deus ex machina

A story ending that involves something inexplicable and unexpected, which usually requires a suspension of logic from the audience. Latin for "god from the machine", it originally referred to God showing up at the end of a play and simply resolving all the character's problems.

Who shot JR? Just the old deus ex machina, the whole season was a dream.
