Ouch, He Got Sick

Because it's almost always a he.

Seen in athletic, theater, and musicalundefined situations, Ouch, He Got Sick refers to when a person turns up sick, injured, or absent for the Big Dramatic Final and The Main Guy has to take over for them. This is the point where Main Guy can make up for all of their failures in the past and have a guaranteed Moment Of Perfect. They succeed in whatever they're doing and everyone's happy {because}. Cue Credits.

For many people, The Bullshit Meter Is Hitting High because of how they may perceive this to be another case of Plot Ex Machina and/or The Stars Are Aligning.
