I have no Haruhi experience outside of the animation, so without any idea what these new episodes may or may not be based upon, I would say the girl doesn't have her homework done.
Like the second half of the TV series, it doesn't make much sense. The strength of the show was always the relationship between Eureka and Renton, not the cliche convoluted story they are trying to tell (which they never bother to ever explain or pay off at the end of the show or the movie).
