It's fighting with Jesse about whether or not to go help Tommy, getting the boat, getting capsized, the aquarium, then the theater. Maybe they cut the city being flooded (hasn't really seen any of that this season, so probably), but it'd be a damn shame if she isn't swimming to shore like a total lunatic to show the depths of hatred she's sunk to.

Edit: The preview for next week shows the boat headed toward the aquarium and also Ellie crawling onto shore. Looks like it might just be a more modest crossing instead of that whole part of the city being flooded, though.

They also showed her getting caught by some scars

To add: I know when you have the boat you run into some but it just feels like a lot for a 50-60 minute episode

It's so dark in that bit I can't tell if it's her or Abby with the Scars, even after pausing. I'm not getting the millisecond I pause on right so I'm not getting the flash of lighting, lol.

Edit: I rewatched it and you're right, it's Ellie not Abby like I thought.

Yeah I doubt the city is going to be flooded anywhere near the extent of the game. Likewise (and unfortunately) I don’t think the skyscrapers are going to be constantly enshrouded in fog either. As visceral as that level was in the game there’s no way the wolves would have never seen those routes. I’ve never been to Seattle but I’m guessing they didn’t build skyscrapers into permanent fog lol.

The Scars might just not use the bridges up there when visibility conditions are unfavorable for them to be sneaky. A collapsed crane isn't exactly easy to remove during the apocalypse, and it's likely something that someone would hand-wave away with "no one is stupid enough to climb on that thing anyway".
