Jerry is excited to meet a famous virologist at the local diner, but is disappointed to find out that the virologist is in denial about the potential of a lab leak causing the COVID-19 pandemic. Elaine discovers that the virologist's daughter works at a specialized
lab and is convinced that the pandemic started there. Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer all try to prove that the lab is the source, but the virologist refuses to listen.
In the end, the virologist's daughter reveals the truth and the virologist finally admits that the outbreak could have come from the lab.

As for gain of function we should probably all be terrified because virologists don't generally seem to understand viral transmission by the way they write.
