If you are on the bad side of a situation but then you get on the good side and the person on the good side goes to the bad. For example, if someone robs a store with a gun and catches the cashier off guard, but then the cashier tricks the robber and takes his gun, the cashier could say ‘oh how the tables have turned’ because he went from being held hostage at gunpoint to taing his gun and holding the other person hostage at gunpoint.
