Farscape: S3 E4 - Self Inflicted Wounds, Part 2: Wait For The Wheel is the second part of a two-episode story arc and the fourth episode of the third season of Farscape. The episode picks up where the previous episode left off, with Moya and her crew trapped inside a dying Leviathan that has collided with another Leviathan. The crew is faced with the challenge of repairing Moya's damage while also trying to prevent the hostile inhabitants of the other Leviathan from taking over.
The crew, consisting of John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, Ka D'Argo, Chiana, and Rygel, work together to try and find a way to escape from the dying Leviathan. After an altercation with the other Leviathan's inhabitants, they discover a possible way out. They must use a strange device called a "wheel" to rotate both Leviathans in an opposite direction to create a wormhole. However, the wheel is controlled by a group of beings known as the "Sheyang," who demand a large sum of currency in exchange for their cooperation.
As the crew tries to find a way to get the required currency, they encounter a group of despondent beings who have given up on life. One of them, Jool, joins the crew in their quest for the currency. Jool is a former prisoner who was abandoned by her people, and she has a reputation for being difficult to work with. However, despite their initial misgivings about her, the crew begins to warm up to her, and she proves to be an asset to their team.
The crew eventually manages to secure the currency and obtain the wheel. Along the way, they also discover that the collision between the two Leviathans was not a coincidence but rather a deliberate attempt by unknown forces to create a new and powerful being.
After installing the wheel and commencing the rotation, the Sheyang reveal their treacherous side and attack the crew. During the ensuing battle, the wheel is damaged, leaving the crew stranded as the Leviathans begin to implode. In a desperate attempt to save Moya and themselves, the crew works together to come up with a plan, but time is running out.
Farscape: S3 E4 - Self Inflicted Wounds, Part 2: Wait For The Wheel is an action-packed episode that sees the crew of Moya pushed to their limits. The episode showcases the strength of their bonds as they work together to try and save each other, despite the odds being stacked against them.
