He takes Woody into the living room and plays with him some more, with a short interruption talking to his mother about his birthday party later that day and the upcoming move to a new house. After playing with Woody, Andy starts helping his mother by taking his baby sister, Molly, to her. While hes away, all of the toys come to life. The party makes all the toys extremely nervous, wondering if Andy will get a toy that will replace them. Woody sends the small green soldiers led by Sarge downstairs to spy on the party. At the end of the party, his mother pulls out a surprise gift from behind her, which turns out to be a Buzz Lightyear action figure in spaceship packaging. Andy and his friends run upstairs to open him and in his hurry, Andy knocks Woody off the bed. They quickly leave, and the other toys welcome the newcomer.

He is found by Sids little sister, Hannah, who takes him away to put him in her tea party. Woody finally finds Buzz in Hannahs room, dressed as Mrs. Nesbit and attending a tea party with a few of Hannahs dolls. While Woody formulates a plan of escape, Buzz is too depressed to care. When Woody throws a string of Christmas lights across the way to the toys in Andys room, Buzz refuses to back him up as he is depressed that he is a toy and only throws his detached arm at Woody instead Woody tries to use Buzzs detached arm in a desperate attempt to convince Andys toys that Buzz is with him, but when they see through this act, they take it as evidence that Woody truly did murder Buzz and leave him in disgust. The Mutant Toys then return and swarm over Buzz, and, despite his attempts to repel them, Woody finds that they have repaired him and reconnected his arm back in place. However, before Woody can make friends with them, Sid returns with his new acquisition a firework rocket. He decides to blow up Woody with it, but cannot find him as Woody hides in a milk crate.
