Therese ist mit den beiden gemeinsamen Kindern und ihrem neuen Lebensgefährten Ferdinand Huber gekommen. Der physisch und psychisch von den revolutionären Kämpfen in Frankreich geschwächte Forster versucht, Therese zu überreden, mit ihm nach Paris zu fahren. Er ist bereit, Huber als Dritten im Bunde zu akzeptieren. Therese, die wegen der politischen Tätigkeit ihres Mannes im Schweizer Exil lebt, möchte die Scheidung, um nach Deutschland zurück zu können. Sie versucht, auch Forster zur Rückkehr zu bewegen, damit er endlich zur Ruhe kommt. Sie lehnt es ab, mit ihm nach Paris zu gehen, obwohl sie ihn noch immer liebt.
