She, Bullseye and Stinky Pete show Woody that he is a part of a show called Woody's Roundup and that they are his co-stars. At first She is happy that Woody is here because. However, when Jessie and the Prospector reveal that Al is selling them to Konishi Toy Museum in Tokyo, Japan, Woody reveals that he still has an owner and has no intention of going to Japan, with the Roundup Gang, Jessie begins to hyperventilate for fear that she'll go back into storage again. She then begins to mock Woody for still having an owner. This sparks Jessie and Woody's conflict in the movie. That night, after Woody's attempt to retrieve his ripped-off arm has been sabotaged, Woody, having spotted the remote in front of Jessie's case, accuses Jessie for turning on the TV. Jessie is insulted by Woody's accustion and denies turing the TV on but Woody doesn't believe her. When Jessie demands to know if Woody thinks she's a lair, he says "If the boot fits!". Jessie responds to this by fighting Woody. The Prospector orders them to stop, and Jessie still feels bitter about Woody caring only about Andy. The next day, after Woody's arm has been re-attached, Jessie angrly tells Woody he can leave now, but the Prospector convinces Woody to speak with Jessie and make amends. When Woody talks to Jessie, she tells him the story about Emily (seen during the "When She Loved Me" musical sequence), a little girl that had been her owner. Throughout her years as Emily's toy, Jessie has enjoyed being played with, such as being taken for a horseback riding, a drive in her car, and a swing on a tire. However, years have passed, and Emily has found more mature activities to do, forgetting about Jessie until finding her under the bed one day. Jessie had spent one more time in the car with Emily, only for Emily to place her in a charity box, leaving her shocked and heartbroken that she has been given away. Being in a box for along period of time, Jessie has developed claustrophobia. After hearing that story, Woody initially feels terrible and tells Jessie he didn't know about her sad past. However she simply tells him to leave. He heads over to a nearby vent in the wall and starts to go but with more of the Prospector's convincing, Woody, thinking that the same fate will happen to him as Andy grows up, warms up to the idea of going to the museum and decides to stay, and Jessie's feelings of bitterness and sadness brightens up to happiness and excitement. Later that day, they have a little fun by making a show with Woody who accidentally falls of Bullseye then Jessie tries to help and the tickles him. At that moment, Rex, Slinky Dog, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Utility Belt Buzz arrive to recuse Woody and bring him home. Mr. Potato Head tries to attack Jessie but fails. Jessie sees Slinky growling at Bullsye and orders him to stop and he warps his spring around them. The toys are about to leave when Andy's Buzz Lightyear arrives and convinces Woody to come home. At first Woody refuses However, after watching himself sing "You've Got a Friend In Me" when Woody decides to go back to Andy's room with Buzz and the other toys and offers to take the Roundup gang with him back to Andy's house. Jessie initially feels uncertain. But Stinky Pete, now showing his true colors, locks them in Al's apartment. Woody and Jessie learn that the Prospector is the one who tried the TV on the previous night and that he has never been sold from a dime store shelf, which makes him feel more determined get himself and the others to Japan, where he believes he will finally be appreciated. At the airport, Buzz and the toys recuse Woody and get rid of the evil Prospector, but are unable to free Jessie from the case, despite Bullseye being able to escape, as the case gets loaded into a plane bound for Japan. Determined to rescue Jessie, Woody whistles for Bullseye, whom he and Buzz mount and gallop across the airfield to rescue Jessie. Woody, after being separated from Buzz again, follows the case into the plane's cargo hold. There, Woody again offers to take Jessie back to Andy's house. She initially fears that Andy will not like her, but Woody tells her that it will not be so bad because Andy has a baby sister. Excited, she agrees to go with Woody (and the other toys), but the two become trapped in the plane. Finding another escape route, they exit the plane. But Woody slips, prompting Jessie to grab hold of Woody's arm. Using his pull-string, Woody and Jessie swing down from the plane and land on Bullseye right behind Buzz, finally completing the mission just seconds before the plane takes off. As they celebrate their success, Jessie describes Woody rescuing her as "Woody's finest hour." Back at Andy's room, when Andy comes home from Cowboy Camp, he is pleased to see Jessie and Bullseye added into his toy collection, calling them Bazooka Jane and her jet-propelled horse. With Andy's name printed on the bottom of her boot, Jessie is overjoyed to feel appreciated again. Buzz clearly, but nervously, develops a crush on her and the two enter a relationship somewhat similar to the way Woody and Bo Peep have done.

After Bart explodes a railroad bridge and escapes with Betty and their stolen loot on a Corvette that the Aliens are driving, Jessie and Woody rush over to stop the train to save the orphans aboard. Woody jumps into the locomotive and pulls on the brakes, but the train goes off the bridge and into a ravine, leaving Jessie to assume that Woody has died, along with the orphans. But then, to Jessie's surprise, the train shoots out of the ravine, lifted up by Buzz. Woody, Buzz and Jessie then attempt to stop the criminals, but they are interrupted by a spaceship controlled by Evil Dr. Porkchop (Hamm's character), who warps the criminals back into the spaceship and executes Death by Monkeys to capture the three heroes.

Years Later During the main events of the film, Jessie is afraid of Andy's departuate for college and fears that she will be abandoned by her owner agian. She continues to have fond affections toward Buzz. When Andy attempts to put her and the other toys in the attic, he gets side tracked by Molly trying to carry a box that has to donated Sunnyside Daycare and goes to help her. Andy and Molly's mom accidentally throws them out but thansks to Rex's pointly tail they manage to escape the bag they're in. To keep herself from reliving the trauma life she had when thrown out by Emily, Jessie sees the box that Andy helped Molly with Mom's minivan and convinces the other toys they should go to Sunnyside Daycare. Buzz asks Jessie what they should do about Woody however Jessie insists that they leave Woody behind because he is taking woody to college with him. Buzz reluctant agrees with Jessie, because he loves her. At that moment, Woody arrives and tells them Andy's mistake but they refuse to believe him. Once the toys arrive at Sunnyside (with Woody and the Barbie doll that Molly used to own), they leave the donation box and Jessie shakes hands with Chunk. She is excited to learn from Lots-O' Huggin' Bear that the children at Sunnyside are replaced with new children when they get older, meaning that they will always be played with no matter what.

Jessie and the other toys realize that Woody was right, that Andy still wanted them. Jessie says they have to find Buzz and home to Andy but are imprisoned by Lotso and his henchman, who haven Buzz reprogrammed and think that he is a space ranger again (like he thought in the first Toy Story movie), turning him against them. Jessie is imprisoned by Stretch. Buzz sets down the prison stanards and in order to make sure they obey them, Lotso gives them Woody's hat (which he left behind during his escape). This causes Jessie and the others to believe Lotso killed Woody. The next morning, Jessie and Bullseye are the ones who have been moruning Woody's apparent "death" the most. Later When Woody returns to rescue them, after hearing a sad story about Sunnyside and how Lotso really runs it (and why) by one of Bonnie's toys Chuckles, Jessie and the others are super happy to see that he's still alive and give him his hat.

Soon when Woody, Barbie, Rex, Slinky and Hamm arrive, Jessie is reunited with Buzz, who Rex has reset to the Spanish mode of his space ranger self; a romantic version of Buzz who is far more outspoken about his feelings for Jessie (the reset had temporarily erased his memories). At first, she is uncomfortable with the change but finds that she also rather likes this romantic version, too. When the toys finally arrive the trash chute, Lotso and his minions corner them but Big Baby tosses Lotso into the dumpster how Lotso pulls Woody in with him. When the toys go to help Woody, they all get stuck in a garbage truck. On the truck ride, Buzz saves Jessie from being buried alive but is soon flattened by a television. Thinking that he is dead, she starts to despair but Buzz reawakens to his normal self, not remembering a thing that happened before. Jessie is happy that Buzz is alive and kisses him.

They all return to Andy's house, Jessie and the gang climb into an emtpy box that's heading off to the Attic. When Woody ask Jessie if she's be okay in the attic, She says she will because she now knows about Buzz's spanish mode. How Woody has himself and his friends donated to Bonnie, the girl that found him outside of Sunnyside. Jessie is the first toy Andy give Bonnie. Jessie and the others are all played with by Andy one last time and quickly adjusts to her new life with Bonnie.
