Sick Episode, the general trope, has a mention of it in its description. But I don't think it has a specific article.

Alright Thanks., I'll go search for it a bit more before I make a YKTTW.
"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."

I've seen this alot in western animation, but I'm pretty sure it's common in other media.
It's basically like this: Bob is taking care of Alice, who has a cold. Later in the episode Alice is no longer sick, but Bob has caught the cold from her. Thrus,the role between caretaker and patient is reversed by the en of the episode.
I've could've sworn we had this already...
