Her latest episode is actually set 1 month before the rest of RWBY, not parallel., as when RNJR is talking to Qrow about when school starts up again they say there's only 1 month to go, but when Ghira mentions school starting up again he says there's 2 months. Everything we are seeing with Blake is already in the past when we switch to RNJR and WY, which is how it can be a bit confusing as to whether she's going to actually get off the island and back to RWBY any time soon - we're literally waiting for her timeline to catch up and sync with the rest of her team.

The way I look at it, they'll likely do a time skip with her timeline to avoid having to either show us the travel between Menagerie and Haven, or having to ignore her completely in the time she's supposed to be travelling between Menagerie and Haven. I think she's definitely intending to head to Haven to protect it, and to stop Adam, and the attack he's got planned is the perfect time for them to sync the stories up.
