For that matter, do we have a trope for the 180 change in opinion by itself?
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza

Hourglass Plot covers the general story arc of two characters starting in opposite positions, then swapping positions by the story's end.
Edited by MetaFour
Two characters prejudge something or someone. One is really positive, the other, really negative. After seeing the thing/meeting the person, their opinions have switched.
For example - Alice and Bob have to meet their daughter's boyfriend. Bob is a Papa Wolf and seems to hate everything about him - his job, his name, his car. Alice in loving and understanding. Then, they do meet the boy, and Bob learns he was mistaken (the boy's job is not what he thought, the car was borrowed from someone else, the name was chosen by a billionaire uncle to put him on the will, etc.), but now Alice hates the boy.
Is there a trope for that sitcom staple?
