Ep. 12: Haruhi's Laser Beam Idea Leads to Nanomachine Intervention and Extended Filming
Aired on August 28, 2009

During SOS Brigade filming, Haruhi directs Mikuru to shoot laser beams from her blue contact lens. Haruhi’s reality-warping powers cause the lenses to emit deadly rays, prompting Yuki to tackle Mikuru and remove the lens to save Kyon. While Haruhi changes Mikuru into a bunny girl outfit, the group discusses the incident. Haruhi then enforces a strict schedule requiring work on Sundays until the festival. The following day, Yuki discloses using bite-injected nanomachines to neutralize Haruhi’s influence on Mikuru. Additionally, Haruhi recruits Tsuruya, Taniguchi, and Kunikida as extras for the production, continuing the demanding shoot.
