This episode, with a couple big jumps, covers roughly '55 to '77.  (The final year isn't mentioned but punks appear on TV.)  At first, Logan works for Ben's art gallery in New York and has been married for a couple years to a widower with a daughter.  The marriage fails, partly due to his drinking, but he tries to keep in touch with his former stepdaughter.  Then his son Lionel (Hugh Skinner), now going by the name of Leo shows up around '62 and they become friends, until Leo overdoses.  Then Logan becomes involved with Leo's girlfriend, unaware she's 16.  (Ben has a funny line advising Logan to get out of the country and "don't fuck anybody on the way to the airport.")  When we see Logan in the '70s, he's "poor" but living in the flat he bought in better times.  He reunites with Peter's ex-wife, Gloria (Kim Cattrall), whom he had a years-long affair with (Peter again oblivious), and who stays with him while she's dying of cancer.  I enjoyed this episode more than the previous one, because it was more about Logan's various relationships, including his grief.  This one ends with Logan being hit by a car, but obviously he survives, since we've seen him in the "present," going through his old belongings and bringing all these memories back.

Kulvinder Ghir would also be in the final episode as Subadar Singh.
