I don't think you understand what a dues ex machina is. The conflict was abruptly solved with a newly introduced and seemingly omniscient character. In fact, it is more of a plot device that a literal translation of a Latin phrase. Whether everyone ends up ok or not doesn't matter. The only thing the ending did that resembled an actual ending was resolve the plot. That's what a dues ex machina is. It is a plot device that abruptly introduced, and resolves the conflict in a contrived manner.


 * This pretty much defines it.

I explain why it is a dues ex machina, both literally and literarily.
