Back in Zürich, Mileva struggles to focus on her dissertation. Professor Weber discovered her relationship with Albert, so she must work harder to keep his respect. After she begins vomiting in the mornings, Mileva realizes she is pregnant.
Albert visits Mileva in Zürich. He changed his mind about submitting another paper because one of his citations by a physicist named Drude has errors. Mileva suggests forming an alliance with Drude and fixing the errors. She also asks if he submitted their paper to Professor Weber. He did but doesn’t tell her anything about Weber’s reaction. Albert tells her about another job prospect with Besso, and Mileva reveals her pregnancy. He promises they will be married with a house before the baby’s arrival in January, but Mileva needs to be married much sooner than that. If her pregnancy starts to show before her wedding, her reputation will be destroyed.
After Mileva sits her final exams, she travels back to stay with her family in Serbia and prepare her dissertation. Albert fails to find a good job, so they have no other choice than to tell their families about their situation. Mileva’s father is devastated and suggests she give the baby up for adoption.
