In the third season of Physical, the tensions between Kelly and Sheila continue to rise ever since Kelly transitioned from sitcom stardom to the world of aerobics. Just as Sheila was beginning to overcome her struggles and move on from her divorce with Danny, Kelly disrupts her progress. Determined to outshine her rival on screen and off, Sheila is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it jeopardizes her healing process.
