Warning: this post contains spoilers for the final season ofPhysical.
Aerobics class has come to an end.
As for how her personal life shaped up throughout her rise to the top, Sheila had a gorgeous, beachside home. She also had a great and loving relationship with her now pre-teen daughter Maya.
Although audiences initially saw Sheila preparing for dinner with her former lover John, it was soon revealed that Sheila is alone and not romantically partnered with anyone, as the sequence with John was a dream fantasy. However, in that dream sequence, she discussed the idea of potentially changing things up, “delegating some of the travel” so that she could focus on “other priorities,” including her only child and her physical health.
“I have to think of my health,” she said. “My own ongoing recovery, mentally and physically.”
Tyler confessed that he had been “stalking” Sheila because he was still “very angry” with her for her betrayal. He then explained how his relationship with Bunny, who began teaching aerobics classes again, crumbled after Sheila’s lawyers went after them. But Sheila knew nothing about this.
Tyler then revealed that Bunny went to Mexico to get revenge against Shelia, through which she aimed to seduce “the mall man,” a.k.a. John, who has since moved to the country with his longtime wife Maria Breem (Erin Pineda) and their kids. Sheila jetted off to Mexico with Greta for what she claimed was for rest and relaxation, though the trip was really intended for visiting John.
While lounging on the beach, Sheila asked Greta whether she was genuinely happy, which was a conversation that led the fitness guru to tears. She revealed the truth behind her Mexico trip plan, telling Greta she needed to “see for myself” to “know for sure.” But Greta wasn’t entirely fond of this plan to see John, whom Greta believed Sheila has “evolved” far beyond.
“I know, but there’s what I say and then, how I feel,” Sheila told Greta. “And the truth is, I think about him so much. He’s in my head. I’m not even seeing anyone, Greta. I’m just talking to him alone in my house like I used to with myself, with Kelly. I need to see what is happening with my own eyes so I know and then, I can move on. Or, maybe…”
Bunny said Sheila’s attempt to shut down her class would be unsuccessful since it’s free to the community, with Maria chiming in that Sheila’s conversation with her about the “gospel of exercise” and its “empowering benefits” led to Bunny’s hiring.
As Bunny questioned what Sheila now wanted from her, Sheila said: “I’m not here to shut you down.”
Sheila acknowledged that her betrayal of Bunny was “wrong.” Though Bunny said she was uninterested in forgiving her, Sheila said through tears that she simply wanted to give Bunny “credit for being the first” and “teaching” her what made her a success. Bunny then revealed that someone else had actually taught her aerobics, leading Greta — who now also taught a Strength in Numbers class of her own — to suggest that “maybe it belongs to all of us.”
From there, Sheila asked Bunny if she could join her class since she needed to “clear my head,” and Bunny asked her students to “make some room in the back” for her now former nemesis Sheila and Greta.
“Here’s the coolest part. That same chemical, it also makes us feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. You could call it a higher power or God or just the infinite. But I think that’s kind of miraculous, don’t you?” she added. “To think I started this whole thing looking for control when all I had to do to touch the infinite was let go of it.”
