Jimmy and Sabrina decide to organize the Arbor Day celebration in Natesville. However, they soon realize that it won't be an easy task as they face several challenges. Meanwhile, Maw Maw's constant forgetfulness causes Burt and Virginia to worry about her sanity, and they decide to take her to a doctor. However, Maw Maw ends up convincing them that she is fine and manages to get back home. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sabrina take some time off from the preparations and go out for a romantic dinner. However, they soon realize that they are not the only ones in the restaurant, and the other couple happens to be their former classmates who have become quite successful. Feeling inadequate, Jimmy and Sabrina try to make up for their shortcomings by acting like they are more successful than they actually are, but things don't go as planned.

As the Arbor Day celebration approaches, Jimmy and Sabrina are hit with another challenge. Mayor Webb, who was supposed to plant the ceremonial tree, backs out at the last moment. Desperate to keep the ceremony running smoothly, Jimmy and Sabrina ask Burt to take Mayor Webb's place. However, Burt, who has never been good with speeches, struggles to come up with something to say. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sabrina are still reeling from their encounter with their former classmates and try to find a way to impress them. They decide to name the town after themselves as a way of demonstrating their supposed success.

As the ceremony begins, Burt's nerves get the best of him, and he ends up making a fool of himself. However, the townspeople come to his rescue and offer words of encouragement, reminding him of all the good he has done for the town. Feeling inspired, Burt delivers a heartfelt speech, and the ceremony ends on a high note. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sabrina's plan to name the town after themselves backfires when they realize that the townspeople are not impressed and think they are being ridiculous. Feeling embarrassed, they decide to leave the ceremony early and go home.

Back at home, Maw Maw manages to surprise Burt and Virginia by remembering a piece of information that they thought she had forgotten. This leads them to believe that she might not be as forgetful as they had initially thought. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sabrina reflect on their behavior and realize that they had been too focused on impressing others instead of enjoying the moment. They decide to make amends by returning to the ceremony and joining in the festivities. As they plant their own tree and share a romantic moment, they realize that they don't need to be successful in the eyes of others as long as they are happy with each other and their life in Natesville.

Overall, Arbor Daze is a heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of community, family, and self-acceptance. It has several funny moments that provide a nice contrast to the more emotional scenes. The episode's ending is particularly beautiful, as it shows Jimmy and Sabrina's growth as characters and their deepening love for each other. The inclusion of Maw Maw's storyline also adds a nice touch, as it provides a bit of comic relief and helps to tie the episode's themes together.
