To clarify- the final is still intercut, but they moved the scene with Steve falling off the tower to be AFTER the kids wake up, and added in the fakeout 'cut to commercial' blackout.

Another thing with the fireflies jumping to removing Ellie's brain
She DROWNS in the game. Fully unconscious, Joel was doing CPR DROWNED. And clearly they got her back and she was fine, but there's a non zero chance that she could have gotten brain damage to the point that they COULDN'T have gotten her back. They're not a fully stocked hospital- it's a research facility.
It's not something that was considered in the game or even present in the show, but like. It COULD have been
Man that would have been a kickass cold open for introducing Abby.
All the fireflies hanging out, gossiping about Joel and just in general celebrating because they're finally going to be able to make a cure. Abby and Owen leaving the party because for one they're like 19/23 and don't give a shit, but also because Abby knows the actual cost the cure will have. (Revealed later)
Then there's gunshots in the building. Abby isn't a weapon yet. Owen doesn't let her go in. She waits until everything goes quiet before going to find out what happens, leading to the scene in the game where Owen tries to keep her from going in the operating room.
THEN we go back to Joel and Ellie in Jackson and start the show. None of the bullshit exposition dumping becasue god forbid you write a story that can hold your audiences attention long enough for them to wait to get all the pieces.

As annoyed as I am by... basically everything in TLOU season 2, I think I'm more annoyed by the continued fandom reaction toward Abby's description of Joel.
She never saw him*. There were only a handful of people who saw him at all, and only three** of those survived. I highly doubt the two nurses were going around describing him as handsome. Not after witnessing him shoot Jerry in the head without even LOOKING. So where did it come from? CLEARLY Abby just made it up herself, right??? CLEARLY this is just some weird age gap fantasy stuck in by the writers, right????
Use your brains, I beg.
Joel was unconscious- if not straight up sedated -for who knows how long. Long enough for Jerry to do MRI scans and numerous lab tests on Ellie's blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Long enough for people to look in and see what giant of a man was able to transport the cure all the way across the country to them.
Long enough for rumors to start spreading across a small group of people who- let's be real -had likely already run through all available and interested partners. But now here's this new guy. He's handsome. He's gray and mysterious and probably desperate for adult company after traveling with a teenager for months. He's Pedro fucking Pascal, of course the only thing the fireflies are talking about is how handsome he is. Hell, they probably had Marlene talking him up for months, trying to give everyone a clear picture of who they were looking for. And then there he is, and damn, she wasn't wrong.
But then he gets a gun in his hands. He executes everyone in his path, including the people who were just lusting over him. Including Abby's father. Including Marlene. He disappears with the only hope for humanity.
And people were just calling him handsome.
It's no wonder that stuck in her mind for five years.
*allegedly, it's still unconfirmed if she was the one running away at the hospital, although the podcast said it wasn't her.
**even if the person running away WAS Abby, she still wouldn't have seen him. So it was really just the nurses, and they wouldn't have time to notice the scar on his head.
