[edit]In the original 2006 broadcast of the first season, which aired in Japan between April 2 and July 2, 2006, the episodes were aired in a nonlinear order, with the six episodes making up the first novel's storyline intermixed with episodes based on chapters from various points in the light novels. In the next episode previews, two different numbers for the following episode are given: one number from Haruhi, who numbers the episodes according to where they fit chronologically in the plot, and one number from Kyon, who numbers the episodes in the order in which they aired. The sole exception is episode twelve, which is both the twelfth episode aired and the twelfth episode chronologically, a fact Kyon mentions in the preview.[4] For the DVD releases, "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00" is used as the first episode, but otherwise the episodes follow the chronological order. The next episode previews are narrated by Yuki.[5] In the 2009 re-airing, the series was aired in full chronological order, with episodes from the second season mixed in with the first season's episodes based on their chronology. In this airing, the first season's episodes were taken from the DVD editions, featuring visual edits and dialogue changes not featured in the original broadcast.

Haruhi comes to a startling conclusion about the murder, but refrains from sharing it. Itsuki tells Kyon that she has probably concluded that the SOS Brigade accidentally killed Keiichi when they broke into his room. However, further deductions lead Haruhi to discover that the "murder" was a hoax that Itsuki and Keiichi came up with to entertain the guests. Itsuki confides to Kyon their purpose was to prevent Haruhi from using her power to cause a real murder, but Kyon asserts that it is against Haruhi's nature to wish for someone to die. | ||||||||

Haruhi takes the SOS Brigade on a whirlwind tour of summer activities almost identical to the previous episode. Kyon is wracked by déjà vu, and when Mikuru finds she can't return to the future, Itsuki figures out that Haruhi has put the last two weeks of August into an infinite loop. Yuki reports that the loop has repeated 15,498 times, though with variations on individual events. At their meeting in a restaurant on August 30, Kyon realizes the truth in Itsuki's theory that Haruhi is repeating summer vacation because there is one more thing she hopes to do.

With Haruhi satisfied that she made the most of her summer, Kyon finally wakes up on September 1 to embrace a new school term. Itsuki hypothesizes that because of Haruhi's superior intellect, she had never shared school work with friends before. | ||||||

Upon the start of a new term, North High School is preparing for the annual school cultural festival. Displeased with the class decision on a questionnaire and with a film she saw the previous night, Haruhi commits the club to an independent film with Mikuru and Itsuki as the protagonists, Yuki as the villain, and Kyon doing menial jobs such as cameraman and gofer.

Preparation for the SOS Brigade's short film continues, with the main characters' roles eerily matching their actual nature. On the first day of filming, the club shoots two commercials advertising their sponsors before filming several scenes in a park, at which point Kyon learns that Haruhi doesn't have a written script and is planning on ironing out the plot in the editing phase. | ||||||

Haruhi insists on a tight filming schedule, including working on Saturday and Sunday. Displeased with the battle sequence, she conjures the idea of Mikuru shooting laser beams from the blue contact lens on her left eye. During the filming of the scene, Mikuru actually fires deadly beams. Yuki protects Kyon and tackles Mikuru to remove the contact lens and hide it from Haruhi, who adapts the film's plot to account for Mikuru's not having the contact lens in every scene. Recognizing that Haruhi's wish for a laser beam caused the incident, Yuki injects nanomachines to counter the effect on Mikuru. Haruhi adds Tsuruya, Taniguchi, and Kunikida as extras in the film. | ||||||

|
As the SOS Brigade continues filming, Haruhi has Mikuru thrown in a polluted lake by the extras. Tsuruya offers her place as a filming location, where Haruhi dresses Mikuru in a revealing nightgown and spikes her drink with alcohol as prep for a romance scene with Itsuki. Furious at Haruhi's shabby treatment of Mikuru, Kyon argues with her and tries to hit when she insists on having her way. Itsuki stops him. Haruhi becomes depressed by her falling out with Kyon. After becoming irritated by Taniguchi's rude comments about the film, Kyon tells Haruhi he is newly resolved to finish the film, which reinvigorates her. As filming resumes, her powers start causing cherry blossoms to bloom out of season. | ||||||

|
Deciding Yuki needs a familiar for her role, Haruhi picks up a stray male calico cat, naming it Shamisen. When Haruhi leaves, Shamisen starts talking as a result of Haruhi's power. Itsuki suggests reminding Haruhi that her movie is fictional before reality incurs further damage. Mikuru and Yuki share their independent views about Haruhi. Kyon convinces Haruhi to add a disclaimer over the credits saying it is a work of fiction. After the filming, Kyon and Haruhi remain in the club room overnight to do the editing. They both fall asleep, but awake the next day to find the movie has been completed. In a flashback to May, Kyon tells Haruhi the truth about the other club members, but she does not believe him. | ||||||
