To explain the origin of the expression: In Greek plays occasionally the conflict would be suddenly solved by them wheeling in a god from off stage who would fix everything.

God in the machine.

Another example is in adaptation where the bad guy is killed suddenly by a gator that wasn’t a part of the story until that point
