Receive from a particular celebrant?
That’s not a reason to receive.
The second scenario is possible I suppose

I can easily imagine wanting to receive from the bishop or some other visitor who would not normally be at the parish and who might not be sticking around for later Masses.

Again, not a reason. It matters not who gives Communion. It is the same Jesus in the Eucharist.
Especially, if one has not been present for the entire Mass.

If this is a special event on a weekday or Saturday morning Mass I could see that happening.

As far as people receiving a first time outside of Mass I can easily think of a couple of circumstances.

One might arrive while a Mass prior to one’s intended Mass was still going on and, for whatever reason, wish to receive from that particular celebrant.

Or one might be with a sick relative or friend when some comes to deliver communion to that person. If one has not yet received communion that day then it would be possible to receive communion.

In both of the cases mentioned above one could later receive at a Mass at which one participated.

Yes, I received at Dad’s beside when I happened to be there when the EMHC came to give him Communion.

And you are correct, the Precious Blood must be consumed, or (worse case scenario) poured in the Sacrarium.

This is not the same as “receiving twice”.

NO, NO, NO. The Precious Blood may NEVER be poured in the Sacrarium. It must be consumed. If you have to, you ask other people to help you consume it.
