Why do you still pretend to like your husband?
You could hang this whole episode ofPhysicalon Bunnys offhand remark to Sheila while theyre rehearsing for their workout video.
You could hang the whole show on it, really: Why pretend to like someone when you dont?
Why pretend to be someone youre not?
Why pretend … ever?
Sheilas response in her head: Dont forget a liar and a thief.
In response, Sheila gives Greta … a half-truth.
Hey, Jer, she said stop, Sheila says with confidence.
(Physicalcant resist re-litigating sexual politics through a modern, #MeToo lens and I AM HERE FOR IT.
DRAG THEM ALL, SHEILA.)
Here again, Sheilas finding her self-assurance.

I want to know more about what makes him tick.
What a hoot this scene is.

She paid someone to dip her face in acid!
(Which is, you know, another way to take a stab at shed some layers!)
(Im really going to be thinking about that helmet for a long time.)

When she broke out her aerobics tape, I legit LOLd.

She seems relieved to have said it.
