I'm not sure there's one trope for this; it could easily fall into almost any of the Speeches and Monologues buckets, though.

The Summation is closest
A character who seems to be along just to explain everything is Mr. Exposition
Is there a trope for when there is a talk often before or after the climax where a person who is 'in on everything' explains what's going on to the protagonist. For example when Dumbledore in 'the Order of the Phoenix 'says 'I'll explain everything'
