The 40th anniversary episode opened with two blonde women watching a TV, on which Dorian pronounced Viki dead. The older woman told the younger, "I think you should go get her." Dorian then saw a deceased Mel, who was determined to have a conversation with her. The older woman changed the channel to Carlo and Cristian; Carlo informed Cristian that he still has a computer chip in his head. Cristian punched Carlo. A confused Viki arrived in Heaven where she recognized the blonde who met her. Viki noted how much the woman looked like Jessica. She told her she should — she's Megan, Jessica's daughter. Megan informed Viki that she was transitioning between lives. Viki noted that Megan should only be 10, but Megan said time moved differently in Heaven. Viki asked Megan where they were going; "All the way to the top," she replied. But they had some stops to make...

First up was Asa Buchanan. Viki happily greeted him. He said he was on hold with God. Viki told him about the accident. Asa asked where Dorian was. She said maybe in Hell, but later conceded that Dorian might still be alive. Viki apologized for what happened with BE. Asa said that Clint was on it, and that his son reminded him of himself. Viki retorted that's what she was afraid of. The two admitted that they missed each other. Megan and Viki reconnected in the elevator. Viki couldn't get over how much her granddaughter looked like Jessica.
Megan pushed Viki out of the elevator, where her clothes had changed. Then she saw Elvis! Niki Smith's head popped up from behind the couch. She informed a shocked Viki that she goes where Viki goes and that includes Heaven! Niki asked Viki what she was doing there. Viki had no idea, but told her alter about Jessica losing Nash and being pregnant. Niki warned that Jessica will deal with her problems by calling Tess out. Viki claimed Tess was dead. Oh yeah? queried Niki.

Viki then arrived at "The Banner," where it was revealed that Mel was out chasing some big story. Viki and Megan arrived at the television studio where young Megan said Viki's daughter Megan was the executive producer, but currently at a network meeting. Viki then met the creator and "Big Cheese." "Hello, Victoria," she said. "I'm Agnes." Agnes revealed that Megan talks about Viki, and that Agnes had been watching over her for 40 years (although technically only 38). Agnes showed a video that Viki's daughter and granddaughter had made for her, which included when Megan and Viki fought. Viki was hurt by the video and did not know why Megan chose that. Her granddaughter claimed that her daughter loved her. Young Megan advised Viki to think about forgiveness. Viki asked Megan how could she give Charlie another chance? Megan took her to the elevator.
Viki walked into CrossRoads and picked up a pool ball. Ben stood up behind her. "Hiya, Blondie..."

Dorian could not believe her eyes — it was Mel! "Do you know of any other dead, alcoholic reporters that you're married to?" he quipped. Dorian hugged him. He told her that he knew what she did to Charlie. Mel was angry because she knew how hard it was for him to stay off the booze, yet had sabotaged Charlie. Mel asked why it was so important for her to take over BE. She said it was for the money. He said it was because of Clint. Why was she with Clint anyway? She asked how she was supposed to react after Mel's death. Should she have shut down? Mel told her to stop living her life in reaction to Viki. He called her insecure. Mel added that he knew she saw some good in Charlie. Dorian concluded that Mel wanted her to admit her feelings for Charlie and step out of Viki's shadow. Mel informed her it was her last chance to atone. She broke down when she saw Viki in the driver's seat, dead. She realized that everyone will blame her. Mel told her, "Well, you will just have to bring her back, won't you?"

Over in Mendorra, Carlo forced Cristian, Sarah and Tina to come with him.
The guards continued their strong-arming of Sarah and Cristian as Carlo informed Tina this was payback for what she did to Johnny Dee — seducing and killing him. Tina clarified that it was Niki Smith who killed him. Carlo did not care. Tina wanted to know where Carlo was taking them. She heard the falls. "Does it give you that sick feeling of déjà vu?" he taunted. Tina relived her memory of going over the falls. She begged Carlo not to do that to her; he retorted that Sarah was going this time. Tina begged for Sarah's life, as Carlo ordered the guards to tie Sarah to the boat. Sarah tried to fight back, and Tina offered to switch places. Sarah was chained to the boat and pushed off into the water. She told Tina that she loved her.

In 1968, the maid was watching OLTL where Victor told Viki that she would take over The Banner. Chuck and others dragged in Rex and Bo. Chuck asked Bo if he knew what year it was. Bo told him it was 2008. Bo woke up Rex, and Chuck told them it was actually 1968. Then the first version of the OLTL credits ran — the title in front of a roaring fire. Bo told Chuck not to joke about what year it was. Rex got all up worked up over the fact that they were struck by lightning. Meanwhile, he and Rex began to argue over Bo taking the ride despite Delphina's warning. Next, Chuck referred to Rex as "Bo" and Bo as "Asa." Bo could not believe that he was "Asa." Rex could not believe it was 1968. Chuck revealed he was not Chuck the Third, he was Chuck Jr! Bo ordered the men to get his horses. Bo told Rex to turn on the TV, but Rex did not know how without a remote. Bo did it, and they waited for it to warm up (!). Again, credits for OLTL ran. Rex changed the channel and they saw news about the man who shot Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Bo and Rex tried to figure out how they got to 1968. Jared came tumbling in, and referred to Bo as "Paw" and Rex as "Little Brother." Bo informed Rex that they were not in Kansas anymore. Bo tested "Clint" by asking him the names of the dogs. "Clint" got "Chuck Jr." to bring them some drinks. "Chuck Sr." showed up, looking like Nigel. "Maria" brought in food; Rex pointed out that it was Natalie. "Clint" greeted her, and Bo explained that "Maria" is Cord's mother and Sarah's grandmother. Bo clarified the history of Clint and Maria to Rex. "Chuck Sr." informed "Asa" of "Clint's" habits of nosing around the hired help. "Asa" and "Bo" announced they were going to sleep. Rex and Bo attempted to make sense of their situation. There was a knock on the door — there stood Gigi and Shane. "Morasco," Rex sighed with relief. Neither recognized him. They brushed past him to "Asa." Gigi said she had a bone to pick with him.
