During the 8th episode of season 3 of ReGenesis, titled "Sleepers," the scientific team at the North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission are faced with a new challenge. The episode opens with a young man collapsing at a busy airport, later revealing he is infected with a deadly pathogen.
Meanwhile, Bob and Mayko are busy working on developing a new antiviral drug that has the potential to save millions of lives. However, concerns arise when they realize that the wrong parts of the drug may have been synthesized, potentially putting many lives in danger. Bob and Mayko race against the clock to correct the mistake before it's too late.
As the team tries to track down how the young man at the airport contracted the deadly virus, they discover that there is a sleeper cell spreading the pathogen throughout the city. It becomes a race against time for the team to stop the virus from spreading before it becomes a full-blown epidemic.
Adding to the stress of the situation is the fact that David, the head of North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission, is struggling with a drug addiction. His addiction starts to negatively affect the team's work, and David must confront his demons before he can help find a solution to the viral outbreak.
As the episode progresses, the team must navigate through ethical dilemmas and difficult decisions. They must decide what to do with the sleeper cell, how to prevent the virus from spreading, and how to administer the antiviral drug without causing more harm than good.
Ultimately, the team successfully manages to contain the outbreak and administer the antiviral drug to those affected. However, the events of the episode leave the team shaken and questioning their priorities. They must continue to work on finding solutions to prevent future outbreaks and make difficult choices to save lives.
