I think a deus ex machina is a specific type of twist, although a deus ex machina doesn't have to be a twist, there are some that you can see coming.
I think the idea that MSWallack is talking would be like a book series where the first few books are a light hearted found family adventure, but the last book involves the cast spliting up and engaging in serious introspection in order for each character to compelete his arc.
