More Logan!

Just back from my hols - and haven't seen the final episode(s) yet. Did we not get rid of the sleazebag??

[Chloe O'brien]

Unfortunatley no. Although Chloe and Jack were able to expose Logan as the instigater in the day's events, he still walked away alive. Logan will be back for day 6 but don't know how long for. George Itzin who plays Logan has got to get an emmy for his performance
