Plot
During Andy's childhood nine years earlier, his sister Molly gives away her toy Bo Peep and her sheep. Woody considers going with her, but realizes that Andy still needs him. Years later, after Andy donates his toys to Bonnie, Woody and the other toys are happy in their new life. Worried that Bonnie will feel overwhelmed at her kindergarten orientation, Woody sneaks into her backpack.
After a classmate discards Bonnie's arts and crafts supplies, Woody covertly recovers materials from the trash, along with a spork. Bonnie turns the spork into a handmade toy she names Forky. At Bonnie's house, Forky experiences an existential crisis , believing he is trash and not a toy. With Forky having become Bonnie's favorite toy, Woody has to continually prevent him from throwing himself away.
On Bonnie's family's road trip , Forky jumps out of the window and Woody pursues him. After Woody explains how important Forky is to Bonnie, Forky decides to return to her. Near the RV park where Bonnie's family is staying, Woody spots Bo's lamp in an antique store window. Inside, he and Forky encounter a doll, Gabby Gabby, and her ventriloquist's dummies . Gabby offers to take them to Bo, but reveals her plan to obtain Woody's voicebox, since her own is broken and no child will purchase her. Woody escapes the dummies, but Gabby captures Forky. At a playground, Woody reunites with Bo and her sheep, who now live as "lost" toys. Bo agrees to help Woody save Forky and get back to Bonnie.
Meanwhile, Buzz searches for Woody, seeking guidance from his inner voice : the button-induced phrases from his own voice box. When he becomes a carnival prize in a fairground, he escapes with plush toys Ducky and Bunny, and they meet up with Woody and Bo. With pocket toy cop Giggle McDimples and stuntman toy Duke Caboom, they try but fail to rescue Forky. Bo, unwilling to risk the group's lives on another attempt, angrily leaves with the others after Woody indirectly insults her. Woody encounters Gabby Gabby again, who tells him of her longing to belong to the store owner's granddaughter, Harmony. Woody gives her his voice box in exchange for Forky.
Forky and Woody watch Harmony reject Gabby. Woody sends Forky back with a message for Buzz to meet them at the carnival's carousel. Woody comforts Gabby and invites her to become Bonnie's toy. Bo and her friends return to help, and they head for the carnival. The toys manipulate the RV controls, preventing the family from leaving. When Gabby sees a crying girl lost in the carnival, she decides to become that child's toy, emboldening her to approach a security guard and be reunited with her parents.
At the carousel, Woody and Bo share a bittersweet goodbye. Buzz tells him that Bonnie will be OK without him. Deciding to stay with Bo, Woody embraces Bonnie's toys farewell and gives Jessie his sheriff badge. The RV departs with Bonnie's toys. On her first day of first grade, Bonnie makes another new toy: a female plastic knife, to whom Forky introduces himself.
