Once a year, Trolls have a special day to spend time with their father's- Dad-urday! This is the first year for Guy and Tiny Diamond to celebrate, but, for Guy, some traditional Dad-urday activities are outside his comfort zone. Not wanting to disappoint Tiny, Guy enlists the help of his friends to make sure he completes every activity with flawless, 24 carat success.

Tiny Diamond is telling Keith, CJ Suki and Priscilla about his father's great partying adventures. Guy Diamond, King Peppy and Poppy find Tiny's admiration of Guy cute. Peppy and Poppy talk about Dad-urday and list its activities. Guy says to Tiny that he will celebrate Dad-urday. Elsewhere he says he can't to Synth, Rhythm & Blues and Holly Darlin'. He can't do any of the traditional activities because of what they entell: outdoor activities that are sweaty. Guy prefers to be more pampered. Synth gives Guy a pep talk and reminds him that Tiny thinks the world of him and that he can do anything, but as of tomorrow he will know he can't. They make a pact to have the best Dad-urday ever.
Poppy and Peppy spend time together as daughter and father, as do other dads with their kids. Peppy tells a bad dad joke; daughter and father laugh at its lameness. Tiny meanwhile catches their attention. Tiny announces their first Dad-urday activity; skipping stones. Guy is very nervous about it, but Synth leads an aid to make the stone skip. After 3 stones, Synth is tired, but Tiny gives a large boulder to Guy to throw, the scene cuts as Synth screams upon seeing the size of the rock. Next, a treehouse is built with the aid of the Funk sisters, who use Guy as a puppet to build it. Holly meanwhile acts as Guy's hands to hide he can't cook a barbecue.
The big event is the dad-cathalon. One of 3 challenges is picked; the winning challenge is white-water rafting. Guy joins the dads for the event and remains extremely nervous. Though he was heading for the Lazy River, at the last minute the current takes him down the "flaming whirlpool of doom". Tiny notes Guy is freaking out, and the others are left trying to explain what's going on. They rush to aid Guy and Tiny yells he knows about everything. Guy tries to explain he wanted to impress Tiny, but Tiny already knew he wasn't perfect, as when he built him a bike it fell apart, and that Guy sprays glitter on his bald spot. He begins to embarrass Guy and he stops him; Tiny notes he doesn't care about that, as he adores his father anyway.
Tiny tells Guy to be himself, and he uses his pampering to get out of the situation. Guy escapes and the two make amends.

*The episode's plot is based on Father's Day, and the title is a pun on "It's Saturday".
*When the Trolls are shown with their fathers, Branch is seen with Gary. In Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, Branch treated Gary like he was his son and often called the remote like that.
*Fuzzbert is shown with a kid that's just a scaled version of his own model.
*Branch is among the fathers playing catch. While he looks confused as to how Gary threw the ball back, in "Branchception", he dreamt Gary had listed "catch" as one of the activites, to which Branch noted Gary can't play catch as he has no arms.
*Guy Diamond did partake in outdoor activities in "Glamping", but he was mostly trying to get "in" on Branch's eccentrities. And the episode also showed that his approach to outdoorsmenship was lacking.
*In "The Party Games", Guy was afraid of Archer Pastry due to him being a "young upstart". "Bringing Up Birdy" hints that Guy and Branch (with Branch being older) have similar ages (Branch is at least 21 due to his flashback in Trolls taking place at the Troll Tree, but described as a "young adult" in The Art of DreamWorks Trolls). The joke Tiny made about a "bald spot" in his body is usually aimed at the hair of older males in humans. While the official ages for most Trolls are unknown, this episode's joke adds to the portrayal of Guy as a mature Troll.
