Navigation block for Node Albums [#2198355]

I've watched tons of tutorials about image galleries, node galleries and media galleries made with Drupal and Views + other modules (eva, nodequeue, node reference, etc ) and I could not find a solution to my problem.
I chose Node Gallery as it offers most of the functionality I need out of the box.

The Setup:
I am using https://drupal.org/project/node_gallery which created the following when I enabled it:
- 2 content types:

"Gallery" - with fields: title, body and image
"Gallery item" - with fields: title, body, entity reference ("Gallery" reference), Video Embed Field(I replaced Gallery media with Video Embed Field)

- Views setup to show a "Gallery" as the "Image Thumbnail Grid" with "Gallery item" teasers sorted by post date
- Gallery Navigation on each node page with: Prev/next/back to gallery buttons

The Problem:
I navigate to a "Gallery" When I click on a thumbnail from the "Image Thumbnail Grid View" it takes me to the "Gallery Item" node with the prev/next links + back to gallery link.

I would also like to add a the "Image Thumbnail Grid View" on "Gallery item" pages , to show "Gallery Items" that are on the same page as the current node in the "Image Thumbnail Grid View"

A good example of what I am trying to achieve would be this: http://9gag.tv/v/3414 . Supposing this was built with Node Gallery: On that page one can see a "Gallery item" (the youtube video) with prev/next arrows next to it and a grid with 8 other "Gallery items" under it.
Basically, on 9gag.tv you have the node displayed at the top and a grid displaying the 8 items on the same page with the current "Gallery item"

How can one achieve the same functionality with Node Gallery?

I attached an Image of how I want the Gallery Item nodes to look like.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. Make sure you are using the new design for 9gag.tv as in the old design the playlist was on the left side of the video as a list of thumbnails. On the new design, every "node page" has a grid of thumbnails under the main content.

You can create a block view of the gallery and display it on node gallery item pages. Use a contextual filter and relationship to get the right gallery. That would get you items from the same gallery displayed. Getting it to show items from the same page of results would be more challenging. I can't think of a easy way to do that without coding an page override with a custom module.
