- Netflix: From scratch marks to stolen pepperoni slices, the science classroom's a mess – and all clues seem to point to Wanda's bird friend, Marty the Magpie.
- iTunes/YouTube/Amazon Prime: Crisis! A burglar has ransacked the science classroom, and detectives Keesha and Carlos must find out whodunit. Their prime suspect? Wanda's best bird friend, Magpie Marty, who Wanda just knows is innocent. To solve the crime, the kids must investigate clues, especially the beak marks and foot prints the culprit left behind. This critical evidence will either point out the proper perp - or incriminate Marty.
Summary[]
The Magic School Bus Rides Again segment[]
The class has been messed up by a bird! Most of the clues point to Marty the Magpie, a bird befriended by Wanda. Wanda knew Marty did not do it, but Keesha and Carlos strongly think it was Marty and turns most of the class on Wanda. Then when hope was lost for Marty and Wanda, Arnold suddenly bursts into the courthouse with unexpected news, the classroom got wrecked again! This time, one of the clues pointed out that Marty was not the culprit, rather it was a cardinal and a duck.

Trivia[]
- When Wanda, Marty, and the other birds are on trial, Liz is the judge and D.A. is the district attorney, reprising their positions from the courtroom scene in "In a Pickle".
- However, Liz is not referred to as "The Honorable Judge Liz Ard" like how they were addressed in "In a Pickle".
- When Ms. Frizzle starts talking about adaptations, Dorothy Ann references the time the class shrunk and explored a polar bear's skin and fur in "In the Arctic".
- Tim himself is revealed to be the caller in Is This the Magic School Bus? when he says "Out of all the birds we saw," with the we referring to his class.
- Keesha is revealed to be right-handed.
- One of the criminal birds being a cardinal might be a nod to the late Joanna Cole. At one point, she lived in the US state, Virginia, whose "state bird" is the cardinal.
- The title is an homage to the Law and Order television series, starring Russell Johnson and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
