What is the plot?
What is the ending?
I can't reliably tell you the ending of that episode from the search results you provided, because they only point to interviews and background about Richard Dean Anderson, not a plot summary or transcript of episode 49.
What the results do show is that this is an interview-focused episode centered on Anderson's career, including MacGyver and Stargate SG-1, rather than a fictional story with main characters whose fates need to be tracked.
If you want, I can still help in one of two ways: - give you a short, plain-language summary of what the interview episode is about based on the available sources, - or, if you provide the actual episode transcript or a detailed synopsis, I can rewrite the ending in the exact narrative style you requested.

How does Ernest Pratt first get mistaken for Nicodemus Legend, and what does that confusion lead to in the episode?
In the series setup, Pratt is a writer in 1876 who creates the fictional dime-novel hero Nicodemus Legend, and his publisher has him pose for the cover art, which causes people to confuse the author with the character. The opening episode centers on that identity mix-up and the warrant issued in Sheridan for the supposed Legend, making Pratt's impersonation problem the core trigger for the story's events.
Which specific part of the plot involves someone impersonating Nicodemus Legend, and why is that important?
The key plot element is that someone has been impersonating Nicodemus Legend, which is what alerts others to the contradiction between the real writer Ernest Pratt and the fictional hero he created. That impersonation is important because it turns a literary invention into a practical danger for Pratt, pushing him into situations where he must deal with the consequences of being taken for the outlaw-hero.
Who is Ernest Pratt in the story, and how is he different from Nicodemus Legend?
Ernest Pratt is the real person: a writer in 1876 who invents Nicodemus Legend as a dime-novel character. Nicodemus Legend is the fictional figure on the page and on the book cover, while Pratt is the man whose likeness is used to sell the books, blurring the line between author and hero.
What role does the publisher play in the episode’s character confusion?
The publisher is the one who convinces Pratt to pose for the cover image of Legend, which becomes a major source of the character confusion. By putting Pratt's face on the hero's image, the publisher helps set up the mistaken identity that drives the episode's action.
What specific story element makes the audience follow Pratt as if he were the action hero instead of just the author?
The story's premise deliberately places Pratt in the public role of Nicodemus Legend after his likeness is used for the books and people begin treating the fictional hero as real. That setup forces the viewer to track Pratt as someone trapped between his own identity and the persona others project onto him, rather than as a detached writer observing events from the sidelines.
