Before Toy Story 4
Nine years prior to the events of Toy Story 4 and two years before the Toy Story Toons (Partysaurus Rex, Toy Story of Terror, Hawaiian Vacation, Toy Story That Time Forgot, and Small Fry). Bo is involved in the rescue effort to save RC, who was stuck in a flowing storm drain on a rainy night. While the toys succeed, Bo is placed inside a box and given to a young, anonymous man who takes the box to his car in the rain. While briefly going back inside for something forgotten, Woody arrives at the box Bo was in to take her back to the house; however, she rebuffs him, assuring him that being taken away is part of being a toy. She tells him that toys go missing all the time, implying that he could come with her without notice, and although Woody is initially tempted, Andy calling his name convinces him to stay and part ways with Bo.

Toy Story 4
During her time alone, Bo spent two years "on a shelf" in the antique store, its only desirable feature for her being the bright chandeliers on the ceiling. At some point she was also was owned by a second child after Molly Davis who didn't much care for her, and eventually Bo decided to strike out on her own to be a lost toy forever, enjoying the world childless while helping lost toys find owners. Bo's outfit also changes in this time, ditching the dress and donning a blue cape, pink bow tie in her hair, and eyeliner, to provide a more fit-for-purpose attire for her new role.



Nine years later, Bo encounters Woody again by chance while he was passing through a playground. A child picks both of them up and puts them together, and as soon as they have an opportunity Bo takes Woody away from the children to reunite with him and introduce him to Giggle McDimples. While initially hesitant to agree to Woody's request to help save Forky from Gabby Gabby, she acquiesces "for old time's sake", and because Woody reminded her of how much she provided to Molly Davis as a toy when Molly was scared at night.



Racing through the playground in a mobile car disguised as a skunk (to make people avoid its passage), they arrive under the carousel and Woody accidentally pulls Bo's arm off, revealing that at some point after Bo was donated, her arm broke off. They both scream, but Bo humorously reassures him that it happens all the time, taping it back on with his help. After, Bo takes Woody up through the supports of the carousel to witness the view of the carnival, saying she doesn't need a kid when she has all the world, and the two share a romantic moment before Giggle McDimples interrupts them.



The pair continue on above the ground, eventually arriving at the roof of the antique store and, after being spotted by Buzz Lightyear, they all reunite until Bunny and Ducky tackle Buzz. Assuring the two that they can be adopted by Bonnie in exchange for help, the entire group heads in to the antique store in an attempt to rescue Forky. While Bo demands that Woody follow her lead, he rushes out any in an attempt to free Forky in time to go out with Bonnie, who was in the store, and in the process ends up getting Bo's sheep captured.

Angered, Bo leads Woody to a club of sorts where Duke Caboom resides, for his help to reach the cabinet where Gabby Gabby held Forky captive. Lightheartedly insulting Woody's earlier stunt, Bo manages to secure Duke's help with a pep talk after Woody accidentally caused Duke to reminisce about his painful days with a child. While the plan initially goes well, Gabby Gabby expected the attempt and cornered them, forcing Bo to retreat with her sheep, Woody coming along after some struggle, to then escape pursuit from Gabby Gabby's Bensons. Eventually, after Giggle McDimples is swallowed by a cat, Duke Caboom manages to use the cat to drag everyone out of the store, at which point it hurls up Giggle McDimples before hissing and angrily going back inside.

Bo and her compatriots, worn out and hurt (her sheep having been chipped in a fall, Bunny having been ripped, and in Giggle McDimples case, choking in a full body covering of saliva), refuse to go back for a second attempt. Woody becomes angry and, after Bo questions why Woody wants to go back so much, he says it's because it's all he has left, that because he's loyal, accusing Bo of not understanding loyalty as a "lost" toy. Bo stays composed despite the heated insult, and simply departs with the others.



On the way into the center of the carousel, Giggle McDimples is talking in Bo's ear about how bad Woody is, how he’s stuck up on being loyal, which it turns out is actually what Bo most loves about him. This causes her to turn around and head back to Woody, where they reconcile with Gabby Gabby and offer to take Gabby Gabby to Bonnie to be adopted. Together they all seek Woody and company back to the rental RV with Bonnie, encouraging Duke Caboom to make a forty foot jump from the Ferris wheel in order to create a zip line. Landing on the next building, they stop so that Gabby Gabby can attempt to get adopted by a lost child. With Bo, Woody, Ducky, and Bunny's help, Gabby Gabby succeeds and finally finds a home.

At last arriving at the top of the carousel to meet the RV, Woody once again makes to leave Bo behind to be with a child. However, after indecision and encouragement from Buzz, Woody decides to stay with Bo, and they hug joyfully. After all of Bonnie's toys arrive on top of the RV, Bo briefly reunites with the rest of her old friends, minus the Aliens, and joyfully hugs Jessie. Bo was a witness when Woody gave his sheriff badge to Jessie and when he gave their friends a goodbye hug. After going their seperate ways, Bo and Woody stay with the traveling carnival, along with Ducky, Bunny, Duke and Giggle McDimples, to help toys find new owners.
