A Locke-centric episode.
Deux Ex Machina= God from the machine; refers to an
implausible ending where everything is solved and justice is served.
The episode title is also similar to the title of Chapter 48 of Watership Down "Dea ex Machina." (Watership Down is the book that Sawyer was reading that came from Boone's suitcase).

Deus ex machina"
Lost seems to have a habit of double meanings, or taking things literally in episode titles. "Walkabout" is an expedition, but has to do with Locke's situation as well. "Whatever the Case May Be" refers to what's in the briefcase. So "God in the machine" could very well mean Locke finding a way to open the large metal hatch, and finding something that gives this island its godlike powers and occurrences.

Episode Title: Deux Ex Machina
The title stems from the proper word "deus ex machina." The saying, simply put, is defined as a person or event that provides a sudden and unexpected solution to a difficulty
