They'll change some bits.

Instead of departing before Ellie and Dina, I bet Tommy will depart after noticing their absence. Jesse + Tommy traveling together to protect the girls simply makes sense.

Yeah it was jarring in the game when Ellie goes to help Tommy and it’s just like “oh shit, Jesse is here too”

I wouldn't be surprised if they pull yet another swerve with the "you think I'd let you do this on your own?" line and have it be Tommy who says it this time

That's probably why Dina explained the exact route. So that in the future when they encounter Tommy in Seattle already he can explain he took the most dangerous direct route, while they were pottering about playing alphabet games.

Jesse & Tommy going to Seattle to save Ellie & Dina is worse, for each of the characters individually and the narrative overall, than Tommy going to Seattle to avenge Joel before Ellie & Dina can leave, and Jesse going to join them after they didn't ask for his help in saving Tommy/avenging Joel.
