SummaryThe Magic School Bus Rides Again segmentIt is the day that the theme for this year’s Gizmos that Go Competition (a competition for young inventors) is unveiled to the public, and Jyoti is stoked to find out, as she comes to school early. She brings her sentient robot, Naniben (Gujarati: નાની બહેન, meaning “little sister”), to school, and Ms. Frizzle introduces it to Liz. When the announcement starts, the theme is revealed to be “three in one,” confusing Jyoti. How is she supposed to invent a gizmo that can go, that is three things in one? Naniben opens its belly compartment and grabs a teabag. It cooks tulasī herbal tea, which Ms. Frizzle and Professor Frizzle used to have when they were building the Magic School Bus (their Gizmo on the theme “magic”). Soon, the other students arrive, and Ralphie is excited to see Naniben, Jyoti’s gizmo on the theme “family” from last year. Naniben will help Jyoti make the prototype for the three-in-one Gizmo that Goes. Ralphie also offers to help her, suggesting a “turbo-charged racing teapot with three teabags in it,” which Jyoti finds intriguing but not perfect. Then Ralphie offers another idea: a space teapot with three teabags, only for Ms. Frizzle to interrupt him and announce a field trip for “States of Matter Day.” She then teaches the kids a lesson about the states of matter, stating “Your teapot is matter that’s solid. Your tea is matter that’s liquid. The air is matter that’s gas!” After Jyoti asks if states of matter have anything to do with the theme of three in one, Ms. Frizzle has an idea. She asks Liz for the “destination,” of the field trip, which just so happens to be an ice cube on a tray. Jyoti orders Naniben to stay behind on this trip, so Jyoti and Ralphie cand give it ideas. Liz stays with Naniben as well, and the students board the Bus. Ms. Frizzle shrinks it to explore the molecular structure of an ice cube. After the Bus shrinks constantly, the Frizz stops the Shrinkerscope at an atomic size. As the class knows from the trip inside Ralphie’s whistle, Ms. Frizzle explains that everything in the world consists of atoms. Dorothy Ann says that these particles must be water molecules (given that ice is frozen water). The Frizz then says that the molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms and one atom of oxygen, which Carlos finds is the reason why its formula is H₂O (dihydrogen monoxide). Everyone stares in awe as the molecules stay somewhat still in their frozen state, slightly moving. The class observes this movement and wonders why. Ms. Frizzle says that everything is composed of moving particles, then quotes her old teacher Dr. Kinetic, who said that “everything is always moving.” Even the particles of Arnold’s pet rock, Rocky McRockerton, are moving. The Frizz also notes that since the molecules are those of a solid, they are moving, but not moving freely, which is exactly what Jyoti wants to do: move freely in the ice. So, the kids exit the warm Bus into the freezing ice, wearing Protecto Thermal Hypersensitive Super-Duper Suits. Outside the Bus, Jyoti notices that the molecules of the ice cube are moving, but “aren’t going anywhere”. She asks Ms. Frizzle how being among molecules of ice is supposed to help her with ideas for a gizmo that goes, and Ms. Frizzle answers her question with water puns: “The ideas aren’t flowing? Inspiration isn’t streaming from the deep pool of your imagination?” After Jyoti sighs in disappointment, Wanda tells her that there is more to what the Frizz said. Jyoti still does not get it and keeps on thinking. Ralphie tries to give her another idea: a three-headed ice robot on skis, which she vetoes because she does not want to build another robot. Soon, she thinks of something: since ice is solid water, she would have to have Naniben melt it into liquid for some more inspiration. At normal size, Liz’s tongue is stuck on the ice cube. Naniben receives a call from Jyoti, who tells it to melt the ice. Naniben starts to melt the ice cube with its heat ray, just enough to remove Liz’s tongue from it. At atomic size, Ralphie notices that the molecules are starting to move. As the water flows, Carlos and Wanda exclaim that the molecules are getting warmer and harder to grip. Ms. Frizzle explains that the molecules are liquefying (the process of fusion), and Arnold responds: “Does she mean the ice is melting?” Because the water molecules are slippery to the touch, each student attaches a special handle to a molecule and rides on it. As the students apply the handles to their molecules, Ralphie tells Jyoti that it was a great idea to melt the water and shouts, “Can I get a yee-haw?” The students reply with “yee-haw” in unison, and they continue to ride the water molecules as Naniben continues to melt the ice. Ms. Frizzle tells the class that the molecules that this was a physical change, not a chemical change, as the molecules are moving faster and have not changed form. Tim notes that the molecules are faster, but not as fast. Back at normal size, Naniben continues melting the ice to the point where the water overflows from the tray. As the class is having fun, Keesha notices the overflow and notifies Jyoti. Ms. Frizzle, the Bus, and the students fall from the tray in a drop of water. Thankfully, Liz saves everyone, who catches them in a bowl. She judgmentally eyes Naniben. Naniben and Liz stare at the bowl, hoping everyone is okay. Inside the bowl, the class feels shocked, and Jyoti remarks, “that was interesting.” Ms. Frizzle relates the great fall that everyone experienced to something her childhood friend, Deluge, told her: “Life’s a cascade!”. Soon, the molecules start bumping into each other in a domino effect. Arnold's molecule pushes Wanda’s, which pushes Keesha's molecule into Ralphie's molecule, ad infinitum. Dorothy Ann compares the molecules to bumper cars, which gives Jyoti an idea for her Gizmo That Goes to be a bumper car ride. Ralphie adds in that there could be three of them, though Tim asks Jyoti about how those three bumper cars would work in "one". Jyoti tells him that she will figure it out somehow, for "every idea starts somewhere, and this one starts here." She calls Naniben and asks it to get materials for the bumper cars. When she comes back, she promises to work together with Naniben with a cup of tulasī tea. As Jyoti hangs up, Ralphie tells Naniben to make that two, as he was the one who thought of the three bumper cars. Suddenly, Ms. Frizzle has an announcement to make. Jyoti asks Ms. Frizzle if she is going to end the field trip, and Ms. Frizzle says that that was not what she was trying to tell everyone. She recounts that as everyone was falling, the Bus went missing, and Ms. Frizzle cannot seem to find out where it is. Jyoti panics, and Ms. Frizzle tells her that she has a plan. She takes out a megaphone and yells, “Calling the Magic School Bus! Come in, Magic School Bus!” Nothing happens, so Ms. Frizzle takes out the FrizzPad and notifies the class’s parents and guardians that everyone might be later than usual. Jyoti is still stressed. She tells Ms. Frizzle that she cannot be late—she needs to get back to her normal size to build the prototype with Ralphie and Naniben’s help. Ralphie, Jyoti, and the rest of the class call out the name of the Magic School Bus. The Bus responds by honking its horn. Jyoti finds that the sound of the Bus’s horn is coming from deeper in the water, and she rushes to follow the sound, with Ralphie and the rest of the class tagging along. The students dive deep among the water molecules, eventually finding the Magic School Bus. Ms. Frizzle approaches the Bus and yells “Last one to the Bus is an isotope!” She gets in the vehicle and honks its horn. Jyoti notifies Naniben that she will be coming back, as Ms. Frizzle is in the Bus. She also tells it to boil the bowl of water for the tulasī tea, which it commences doing. The process of vaporization occurs, and the students feel the heat from Naniben’s heat ray, which causes the molecules to rise into the air and evaporate. Ralphie notices that Jyoti’s molecule is rising and tries to save her, grabbing on to her arm. Jyoti tells him she “does not need to be got” and orders him to let go of her. Ralphie feels disappointed, as he was hoping to be of assistance to Jyoti for the project, but soon, his molecule begins to evaporate and he flies far away, causing everyone to lose sight of him. Jyoti calls Ms. Frizzle for help as she notices Arnold falling from his molecule. Ms. Frizzle opens the Bus’s roof hatch, saving Arnold. He straps himself in with multiple seatbelts. Jyoti jumps into the Bus as well as Ms. Frizzle rounds up the rest of the class. As everyone enters the Bus, Ms. Frizzle reviews the lesson on the phases of matter to pass the time. Arnold wonders why everything was moving so fast—he liked it better when the molecules were staying in one place. Jyoti has an epiphany and realizes something. The molecules moved faster when Naniben melted the ice. Ms. Frizzle and Wanda add in the fact that heat is energy, and the molecules had enough energy to move around so fast. So, they are now moving even faster with Naniben having vaporized the water. Ms. Frizzle tells everyone that this is the third fundamental state of matter. Dorothy Ann counts all three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Wanda adds that steam (vapor) is the form liquids take on when they are boiled, causing Jyoti to conclude that when she asked Naniben to boil the water, “did she mean to boil us?” Ms. Frizzle shows a view outside the bowl, which Naniben is currently boiling. Jyoti tells Naniben to stop vaporizing the water, and the android turns off its heat ray. According to Dorothy Ann’s research, the molecules of a gas move uncontrollably, bouncing around in all available space. As the Bus drives around the vapor, Tim notices that Ralphie is gone and wonders where he is. Outside the Bus, Ralphie is riding his molecule across the open space, yelling “Go, H₂O, GO!” The scene shifts to the Bus where Jyoti remembers that Ralphie is still out there in the vapor. She hypothesizes that if Ralphie’s molecule cools down and condensates back into a liquid, then he would slow down and thus be able to be rescued. Jyoti orders Naniben and Liz to open the window so that she and the class can give chase and find Ralphie. Tim asks Ms. Frizzle, “Now that the window is open, what stops Ralphie from flying outside?” Ms. Frizzle tells Tim that nothing can possibly stop him from flying outside, meaning that he could be anywhere in the world. “No telling where molecules go when they’re moving like gas; the sky’s the limit!” Ms. Frizzle tells the class. Jyoti then gets Naniben to close the window again so that Ralphie could bounce off the glass. Naniben closes the window on Liz’s face, knocking her down. Inside the Bus, Jyoti is worried and asks her teacher if there is a way that the class can find its missing classmate. Luckily, Ms. Frizzle tells Jyoti that the Protecto Thermal Hypersensitive Super-Duper Suits have tracking devices. She pulls up a screen on the Bus’s windshield that demonstrates this. It shows a top-down view of Walkerville Elementary School and the Bus. Everyone is shown inside the Bus in the classroom, and Ralphie is shown outside the classroom floating around the basketball court. She taps on Ralphie’s location marker and plays a video showing what Ralphie is doing. He is continuing to ride atop his molecule, excited and vigorous. Pretty soon, the Bus honks its horn, notifying the passengers that the wind is picking up around Ralphie. Ralphie is getting faster, rendering it harder to catch up to him. Ms. Frizzle commences the rescue, and orders Naniben and Liz to open the windows again. The bystanders open the windows and let the Bus outside the school to rescue Ralphie. When they catch up to him, there is no luck, as Ralphie has achieved a very high speed. Jyoti asks Ms. Frizzle if there is any way that Ralphie’s molecule can be frozen back into ice (deposition), prompting her to activate the Hyperextended Extra Long Range Deep Icerator on the Bus, which deposes the vapor molecule into a snowflake. Ralphie enters the Bus and tells everyone that his experience was “beyond cool.” The Bus leaves the snowflake and returns to normal size. The students and Ms. Frizzle enter the classroom again, talking about their favorite parts of the trip. Tim liked the bumper car part, and Arnold says, “I’m never going to be warm again.” Jyoti has an apology—she is sorry for using Naniben to vaporize the water with the class in it. Ms. Frizzle thought it was quite an “expansive experience”, as it was a way for the class to fully experience all three phases of matter. Jyoti then apologizes to Ralphie for telling him to let go of her, and Ralphie replies, “You’re sorry? Are you kidding? That was the best ride ever! Being a gas was…” and then Carlos interrupts with “…a gas?” Nobody called out Carlos for making the pun, but Ralphie and Carlos give a fist bump instead. Jyoti takes the “best ride ever” part into account and says that this would not be just bumper cars, it would be a fully-fledged “Water Molecule Ride:” One molecule bumper car ride with three different states. Jyoti and Ralphie discuss their ideas for the Water Molecule Ride as the former draws out the plans. It is a dome-like structure with bumper cars inside, called the Water Molecule Matter Mobiles. There is a control panel outside that changes the “phases” of the bumper cars. The scene shifts to outside Walkerville Elementary School, three months later. The Water Molecule Ride has just been completed. Arnold stands at the controls of the Ride while everyone sans Jyoti is inside the dome, wearing the helmets of the Protecto Thermal Hypersensitive Super-Duper Suits and riding in Water Molecule Matter Mobiles. Jyoti and Ms. Frizzle stand in front of the Ride as the latter congratulates her for this outstanding achievement. Jyoti explains to her teacher, “This took three months of work, but it’s totally worth it.” Ralphie jumps inside a Matter Mobile, which is in liquid mode, and says, “Let’s see this thing in action!” Jyoti jumps in an ice mode Matter Mobile and puts on a helmet. Arnold puts all the Matter Mobiles in ice mode, causing the cars to link up to each other and move slowly. She orders Arnold to switch to liquid mode, causing the molecule cars to undo their tethers and start to speed up and bump into each other. Arnold then switches to gas mode as per Jyoti’s instruction, which fully speeds up the Matter Mobiles and causes them to levitate. Arnold cools down the cars and turns off the Ride. Jyoti tells Ralphie that she could not have done it without him. “It’s so awesome being an inspiration,” Ralphie says, and Jyoti notes that water was the real inspiration. “But it would have been a washout without the motivation of your evaporation.” Jyoti uses similar water words like Ms. Frizzle. Keesha says, “Let’s go again!” Carlos then responds, “Water we waiting for?” and gets called out for making the pun. The camera zooms out and fades to black.
