Sick Episode: Difference between revisions

If the illness is caused by contact with evil, that's [[Allergic to Evil]]. See also [[Soap Opera Disease]] for diseases which are ultimately fatal and may or may not be used as [[Filler]]. Compare [[Hurt/Comfort Fic]].

 

* [[Caretaker Reversal]]

* [[Fever Dream Episode]]

* [[The Tonsillitis Episode]].

* [[Working Through the Cold]]

 

* Used in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', when Kagome comes down with a severe cold. The main plot is put on hold while Kagome goes home to rest and the title character mixes up a disgusting "cure."

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'s'' second season had the Sailors come down sick except [[The Ditz|Minako]], who attempts to come to their aid as Nurse Venus. ''[[Nurse with Good Intentions|Be very afraid]]'' [[Nurse with Good Intentions|of Nurse Venus.]]

* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' has a chapter in the manga where Tamaki is in bed with a cold. His fever also leads him to {{spoiler|kiss Haruhi's forehead, mimicking what his father had just done. He says it's all right because he's Haruhi's father and drifts off to sleep. After recovering he doesn't remember doing it.}}

* ''[[Gintama]]'' has a Sick Episode where Tae, Gintoki, Kagura, Kondo, Ayame, and Hasegawa all get sick with the same alien virus, while Shinpachi has to tend to them all. This being [[Gag Series|Gintama]], however, {{spoiler|Katsura, of all people, eventually cures the entire gang while serving as a cross between "Ill Smith" and [[Barack Obama]] ([[Catch Phrase|"Yes, we can!"]] indeed.). Afterwards, everyone except Shinpachi accidentally turns into "Ill Smiths". To top it all off, the whole sequence was just part of a flashback within the ''real'' sick episode.}} Suffice to say, this series refuses to play its tropes straight.

* One [[Patlabor]] episode revolves around Izumi having a bad toothache, and having to work through it (including putting on her helmet).

** The public bath episode, mentions that Kumagami is out sick (making Noa the only female [[SV 2]] member).

* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]:'' Kimberly is sick with a cold during season 3's tripart opener, "A Friend In Need". She has to stay behind resting while the other Rangers travel to Edenoi. However, Zedd and Rita send down a monster, forcing Kimberly to fight in spite of her illness. It's a tough fight, but the monster catches her cold and has to return to the moon so that Finster can cure it.

* ''[[The Good Guys]]:'' Episode 3! Possibly the show with the earliest episode for this to occur. Dan Stark starts the episode with a potent flu, and by the end of the episode, not only his partner, but practically the entire force, as well as the bad guy. Bonus points for handcuffing himself to the bad guy before passing out while he was being strangled.
