Why is my model.reload() in afterModel redirecting to a related model?

For some reason calling model.reload() in my afterModel is redirecting to a related model's route, and I can't seem to figure out why.

SkillRoute = Ember.Route.extend
  model: (params) ->
    @store.find('skill', {slug: params.slug}).then (model) =>
      model.get('firstObject')
  afterModel: (model) ->
    model.reload() # offending line
