In other words, it runs concurrent to the Quintology. What it could be is that the Steef plays a fairly important part in the future of the Quintology (whether in Lorne's original movie scripts or added in at some point), but Lorne decided that he was such an interesting character, we needed some kind of introduction, almost a prequel to his primary inter-Quintology appearance. Or maybe this is just a break from Abe and Munch and the Steef will not appear in the Quintology at all.
I don't think 'rescuing' suits the Steef's character, but there's just no telling at this point.
