I mean, thats not only the entire show, thats also the entire final sequence, right?

But watching the season finale unfold, VanArendonks note of gestures feels exactly right.

I think I had a lot riding on Sheila; I put a lot of faith in her.

Sheilas self-talk, it seems, was only an important part ofPhysicaluntil it wasnt.

Dannys there too, manning a table with political literature that all of these aerobics acolytes will hopefully read.

She asks the crowd, Are we gonna listen to that voice?

After all, this is the same voice that triumphantly declared last week, I cant hide anymore.

I dont want to.

I mean, I get it: One step forward, two steps back.

(A futile but valiant effort, the paper calls it.)

Before she can fully voice her worries, Tyler collapses on the floor.

(Most from-left-field funny line of the episode belongs to Bunny: Youre not scamming us, Dr. (See also: political bloviating, Californian obsession with authenticity.)

Danny gets up and says some nice, pat,wife-guythings about Sheila.

What happens during that scene is disturbing.

You should try it sometime.

Eat this … indulge yourself for once in your life.

Do it for me.

He did not know she was something other than what he always lazily assumed she was.)

(Side note: The same things happen a lot onPhysical!

She has you pegged, she tells herself about Bunny.

You lying sack of shit.

She sees who you are and always has.

But she doesnt explode… yet.

Thats why all of us are really good tennis players.)

Thats, like,Emily in Parislevels of shallow.

It was just announced thatPhysicalis getting a season two renewal.

At first, I resented this news because I felt shafted on receiving a satisfying finale.

But now that Ive had time to think about it, Im a bit hopeful.

I still want to know whatPhysicalcan be and who Sheila really is.

I know Sheila wants that, too.
