While Alan and Chris are away, Norbert the Robot efficiently manages Hooper's Store, serving Rosita and Zoe. A visit from Mr. Johnson to order a birthday cake triggers a realization in Norbert: as a robot, he doesn't have a birthday. This upsets Norbert, as he feels left out from the joy of birthday celebrations.
However, Rosita and Zoe, ever the compassionate friends, devise a plan to organize a surprise birthday party for Norbert. To ensure that Norbert remains unaware, they employ Grover's help, who masterfully distracts Norbert with a missing crayon hunt.
With Norbert out of sight, the duo swiftly decorates Hooper's with glittery silver decorations. But a party isn't complete without gifts. To understand what a robot would like, they put themselves in Norbert's shoes (or gears). Inspired, Zoe fetches machine oil and metal polish as presents.
On returning to the store, Norbert is astounded by the surprise birthday party arranged in his honor. Touched by his friends' thoughtful actions, Norbert rejoices, playing some music and teaching them all how to dance "the robot."
In the "Kindness Cam" segment, Elmo replays clips from the episode and compares it to the actions of real-life kids practicing kindness.
Next, Elmo, Zoe, and others present an entertaining song and dance sequence to introduce the letter of the day - B. This is followed by a segment where children from around the world share their unique birthday traditions.
In the "Super Grover 2.0" segment, a duckling faces a predicament - crossing a river to a party without wetting her new shoes. Super Grover, through scientific reasoning and engineering skills, finally helps her cross with a log bridge.
The episode concludes with the eager Cookie Monster and his friends anticipating the number of the day. Today's number, symbolizing the number of cookies baked for Cookie Monster, is 7.
