Bo Peep Is Given Away, Explained: go to a good home
Woody watches as the old lamp — and Bo Peep with it — is handed off to a new owner. He tries to stop it, but she has already decided: "I'm not Andy's toy. It's time for the next kid." The goodbye is quiet on her side and desperate on his.
What happens
Bo Peep is being given away together with an old lamp, and Woody rushes in to stop it. She tells him she is not Andy's toy and that it is time for the next kid. Andy later searches the house for Woody, while his mom reflects that kids lose toys all the time.

What's really going on
The scene is a quiet rehearsal of what the whole film will ask. Woody's panic is not about a lamp going to a good home; it is about losing someone he belongs to, which is why he calls after her even as she walks away. Bo Peep's answer is the one he keeps avoiding, "I'm not Andy's toy," followed by a line that sounds like a fact and lands like a farewell: it is time for the next kid. She has decided what she is worth outside Andy's room, and Woody has not. His mother's later remark, that kids lose toys every day, frames the same idea from the human side, gently and without cruelty.

Questions about this scene
Why is Bo Peep being given away?
She is packed with an old lamp that Andy's mom is passing on to someone else. Bo treats it as a natural change rather than a tragedy.
Why does Woody try to stop her?
Because he cannot face being separated from her. He still believes their place is with Andy, so her decision to leave feels like a betrayal of that world.
What does go to a good home mean?
It means an object is passed on to someone who will take care of it. The mom uses it about the lamp, and it quietly applies to Bo as well.
Why doesn't Woody go with her?
At this point he is still tied to Andy and cannot imagine belonging to anyone else. He stays, and his search for purpose drives the rest of his story.
Who finally finds Woody?
Andy does. After the van pulls away he keeps searching and calling out, then spots Woody outside and shouts that he found him. The scene ends with Woody going back inside, not lost after all.
