In Day 6, since he was now just a former President, he was stabbed by his ex-wife and was last seen flatlining in an ambulance. However, WordOfGod confirmed he survived this, and in following seasons it was confirmed, and he later returned in the final season. He also had several encounters with Jack Bauer, on more than one occasion with Jack threatening to kill him, yet he survived all of these encounters. In the series finale, after Jack Bauer ruined his plans once more, he attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head.

However, due to that part of the storyline going through a mixture of AbortedArc/Discontinuity/CanonDiscontinuity and the fact that Logan was a more popular villain than anyone involved in the cabals, Logan returned in the final season and became a full-blown ManipulativeBastard who single-handedly [[HijackedbyGanon blackmailed]] [[TheManBehindTheMan the Russians]] [[HijackedByGanon into going along with his plan to sign the treaty]] and led the efforts to try and have longtime nemesis Jack Bauer killed.

* ~~GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere~~DethroningMomentOfSuck: [[spoiler: When he and his group reduced Jonas Hodges, a heavily hyped villain who many felt was worth the hype, to a mere DiscOneFinalBoss which lead to Hodges being stuck in a WallBanger storyline that lead to his death, the fact that the introduction of TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness caused the quality of a good season to collapse increasingly in the final act, and finally the WallBanger reveal that Wilson was, somehow, behind a lot of the series events, and making a bigger joke out of the Palmer conspiracy, despite the fact he was never seen or even referenced before. Is there any other reason why they didn't continue this plot in the final season?]]
* DullSurprise: How Will Patton played him. It just made the character worse when the actor was obviously reading his lines awkwardly from cue cards and only making two facial expressions, both which happened to be Narm-ish(one was a half-smirk and the other looked like he was squinting, but it was him trying to look scary and intimidating. It failed horribly)
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler:Another reason why so many hated him. Hodges was hyped as the BigBad only to be captured in a random episode and for the first time referenced people being higher than him, and in the next episode Wilson was introduced. Happened again when, out of nowhere and without any hint of it at all, he was revealed to be involved in the deaths of Palmer and Michelle as well.]]

* WallBanger: [[spoiler: Being behind separate conspiracies that have nothing to do with one another? Check. Hiring a guy he tried to kill and whose wife he successfully killed, in an attempt to frame Jack Bauer, whom Wilson has absolutely no connection with, for the assassination of David Palmer, which Wilson was also supposedly behind? Check. Acting like an careless idiot despite being hyped as the ultimate mastermind obsessed with remaining anonymous? Check.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler: His hiring policies are completely questionable, from the not-so-loyal and increasingly insane Jonas Hodges to the vengeful-seeking Tony Almeida, whom Wilson supposedly tried to have killed years ago and successfully killed his wife, both of these go the way you'd expect. Also increasingly giving into the pleas his mistress(who is being easily manipulated by Tony), despite his operation increasingly derailing, and even agreeing to come out of hiding just to meet Tony, who as far as Wilson was concerned(because he, and the writers, forgot all about trying to have Tony killed years ago) was just a Mook? The ONLY reason this isn't TooDumbToLive is because he was saved at the last minute by Jack and Renee, and instead of dying he was tortured by Renee and sent to prison.]]
*YourMileageMayVary: There are people who don't hate Wilson or TheReveal and enjoyed the last arc of season 7, but there are also a lot of people who hate everything about it.
