Trading her Marvel superhero costume for a lab coat, Brie Larson will star as Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant and unrelenting chemist at Hastings Research Institute navigating the 1950s patriarchy. Although her contributions to abiogenesis (the theory that life rose from non-life forms billions of years ago) blow that of her male counterparts out of the water, Elizabeth\u2019s credibility is questioned at every corner. <\/p>\n

Along the way, Elizabeth meets and falls in love with Calvin Evans (played by Lewis Pullman in the limited series<\/a>), a famous and renowned scientist with whom she works at Hastings. Because of her male-dominated field, Elizabeth dodges accusations that she\u2019s \u201csleeping her way to the top.\u201d In reality, Calvin sees Elizabeth for the intelligent, funny, and opinionated chemist she is, and eventually, they have a daughter together, Madeleine Zott, or Mad Zott for short. <\/p>\n

\"Calvin

Unfortunately, Elizabeth and Calvin never marry, so Mad being born out of wedlock becomes the crux upon which Hastings Research Institute hinders their decision to fire Elizabeth. Eventually, she is approached by Walter Pine, a television producer at KCTV who offers her a job as host of a daytime cooking show called Supper at Six<\/em>. Elizabeth accepts because she needs the income to support her family. She loves to cook, after all, and she\u2019s great at it. She proceeds headfirst into the venture, but her adamant demand that she be able to incorporate chemistry into the gig goes overlooked by Walter until the cameras start rolling and it\u2019s too late to stop her.  <\/p>\n

\"Kevin

Before long, Supper at Six<\/em> becomes a national sensation, and Elizabeth is its unsuspecting star. All the while, Elizabeth works overtime to continue her chemistry career, even remodeling her home kitchen into a science lab. Supper at Six <\/em>is fine and dandy, but chemistry is her passion. She belongs in the lab, not the kitchen, and she will do anything in her power to get back to Hastings Research Institute, or any science lab for that matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Rainn

Still, there\u2019s no denying Elizabeth\u2019s magnetism. Women all around the world tune into Supper at Six <\/em>religiously, keen to absorb any bits of advice Elizabeth imparts, which nine times out of ten contain a chemistry flair. Meanwhile, KCTV\u2019s executive producer Phil Lebensmal loathes everything about Elizabeth\u2019s unruly nature. All he wants her to do is stick to the teleprompters, promote their sponsors, and smile. But Elizabeth marches to the beat of her own drum. <\/p>\n

How does Lessons in Chemistry<\/em> end?<\/h2>\n
\"lessons

By the time we near the third act of Lessons in Chemistry<\/em>, an entire subplot has been co-existing alongside the nationwide uproar about Elizabeth\u2019s tenure on Supper at Six<\/em>. Mad, Elizabeth\u2019s genius daughter, is on the hunt to learn more about her father, Calvin Evans. <\/p>\n

Now, one thing we didn\u2019t state earlier that must be said now is that Calvin is accidentally killed early on in the book. We\u2019re burring this detail in case the average reader wishes to experience that bombshell on their own. Nevertheless, his death creates ripples throughout both Elizaebth\u2019s and Mad\u2019s life. <\/p>\n

\"A

Determined to learn about her father, Mad buries herself in research at the library where she eventually crosses paths with Reverend Wakey, who, it just so happens, was once pen pals with her father. Mad is drip-fed various facts about Cavlin from Wakey, her neighbor-slash-family-friend Harriet, and research of her own finding. Over time she learns that Calvin was an orphan at All Saints Home for Boys in Sioux City and that his love for science took root after a mysterious man associated with a foundation began donating science books to the orphanage. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Supper at Six <\/em>experiences a massive surge in ratings after Waler Pine takes over for Lebensmal as executive producer of KCTV following Lebensmal’s attempt to physically and sexually assault Elizabeth for disobeying orders (an occurrence Elizabeth is unfortunately all too familiar with). As a result of Supper at Six<\/em>\u2019s uptick in popularity, Elizabeth is approached by Franklin Roth, an award-winning journalist, looking to conduct an exclusive interview for Life <\/em>Magazine. Elizabeth is accustomed to turning down these kinds of interviews because usually, all they want is an inside scoop into her relationship with Calvin Evans. This time, however, she\u2019s reassured that the article will focus solely on her professional career. <\/p>\n

\"Brie
Screengrab via Apple TV Plus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It does. The article is immaculate and peels back the curtain into Elizabeth\u2019s career triumphs and tribulations. Unfortunately, that\u2019s the not article Roth\u2019s editor at Life <\/em>wants to publish, so what goes out into the world is a superficial cover that glosses over any and all of Elizabeth\u2019s accomplishments. Just like that, she is tossed back into the box society demands she live inside and her chemistry career is ruined. <\/p>\n

\"Brie

Elizabeth plunges into a deep depression that spans several months. Then, out of the blue, her former colleague at Hastings, Miss. Frask \u2014 who once coconspired to get her fired \u2014  reveals that she was so incensed by Life\u2019s <\/em>article that she wrote to complain. As it turns out, the Parker Foundation \u2014 the foundation that funds research at Hastings \u2014 got hold of this letter and conducted an investigation into the unethical behavior at Hastings and its head honcho, Dr. Donatti. Frask now works as head of personnel and she wants Elizbeth to join her as head of chemistry. <\/p>\n

\"Derek

It\u2019s all too good to be true, though. Elizabeth soon discovers that Avery Parker, the woman behind the Parker Foundation is actually Calvin\u2019s biological mother. Knowing the turmoil Calvin endured at All Saints orphanage, Elizabeth is reluctant to pay Avery any mind, let alone accept the job as head chemist. However, Avery quickly explains the whole story.<\/p>\n

It turns out that, like Elizabeth, Avery got pregnant and gave birth to Calvin before she was married. Worse, she was a teenager, and because of that, she was forced to give Calvin up for adoption. When she was old enough to seek Calvin out, she sent her lawyer Mr. Wilson to inquire after Calvin at All Saints. In the hope of squeezing some pity money from Mr. Wilson, the bishop at All Saints lied and said Calvin had died. The bishop\u2019s plan backfired, however, because the Parker Foundation traded money in favor of science book donations in Calvin\u2019s honor. <\/p>\n

\"Beau

When Calvin eventually became famous for his contributions to science, Avery tried tirelessly to contact him. Under the assumption that she was a random lady seeking his money, though, Calvin ignored her. By the time she tried to seek him out in person, it was too late. <\/p>\n

Now, Avery is hoping to become a part of Elizabeth and Mad\u2019s life, both professionally as the private funder of research at Hastings and personally as Mad\u2019s grandmother. No longer constrained by the obligations of the cooking show or prejudice in the workplace, Elizabeth resumes her abiogenesis research at Hastings, and the novel ends with her inviting Avery into her home for \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 supper. <\/p>\n\n
