In Toy Story 2, Buzz quests with other toys to rescue Woody from a toy collector who has stolen him; by the end, he also develops a crush on Jessie the cowgirl. In Toy Story 3, Buzz deals with an uncertain turn of events once he and the other toys have been donated to a daycare center after Andy's departure for college.
