Oh, how about this: Dan gets into a conspiracy theory, something like use of vaccines in the US will be restricted to a select group of the elite, while the masses will get placebos, which Dan will buy into because he has no clue how vaccines are made. The Elise sideplot will be her superiors sending her into a lab because whatever crackpot theory Dan buys into turns out to be true. She tells Chris she'll be going somewhere near the lab for a training thing for a new job she'll get and kisses Chris goodbye.
Later, Dan (Chris dragged along) somehow also gets into that lab, is spotted, tells Chris to grab whatever test tubes and vials he can, and runs.
Meanwhile, Elise hijacked the automated security in the place, opening doors that were sealed shut.
While fleeing from security, a nondescript part of the wall suddenly opens, and Dan and Chris hide in this secret room. Dan notices a seemingly empty transparent box covered with mesh on top. He taps on the glass, and suddenly, a bunch of tiny bee-like insects appear. It seems they have an invisibility cloak. Upon closer inspection, they're actually robots, like the ADI's in that episode of Black Mirror, Hated in the Nation.
Dan swipes a touchscreen button, turning on a holographic monitor. Distraction propaganda agent Doja Cat comes on screen and explains in her real accent (British) that the bees are an experimental bioweapon made to infect certain individuals targeted by the bees with diseases w/ low-contagiousness, like rabies. They have a 3d bio-printer in them that lets them replicate whatever pathogens they've been sprayed with, and a nozzle mechanism that lets them mist the air that a target is breathing w/ an unnoticeable pathogenic mist. When the bees aren't programmed to target anyone in particular, they'll just spray anyone in the vicinity.
