ER Job Shadow

I'll keep this short. I've been in contact with a recruiter up at a MM, and about a month ago I had a phone call with her. During the call she asked a lot of "behavioral questions", but she didn't say it was going to be an interview going in to the call, just an opportunity to talk about the opportunities they offered. After we got done talking, I sent her a follow-up and she said she would put my resume in for an equity research internship, and she'd let me know if they were interested.

Since then, I've been in contact with her, but she kept saying she'd "have an answer next week". Well, today I got a call from her today and she asked if I would be interested in coming up to shadow their equity research group for a day. This is where I got confused. I had originally asked her if I could do a shadow in IB, but she offered me this instead, and she didn't say anything about an interview either. I will be going up mid-December for the shadow, should I expect an interview while I'm there since she didn't say they weren't interested, or is this just a pity offering?

Any insight? Thanks.
