My interpretation of the comic is that he had not done these things until after she had yelled at him, making him realize that the situation was really bad and he needed to take it over from her. Arguably he should have come to this realization sooner, but we all occasionally fail to see what is in front of us time to time, so I am willing to cut him slack given that he immediately jumped in without being asked once it became clear he was needed.

Oh, yeah, I could see that being the way it was intended. It's tough to convey the passage of time in pictures.

In the first panel of the second row the kid is still heads down, enough time didn’t pass to do all those things
