Kat wasn't the first to react, Appoline was. In some ways, this just made sense, in others it was slightly annoying. Kat had been watching the process of brewing the potion closely, both to compare it to Appoline's and so Lily had more to work with when she went back over Kat's more exacting memories of the event. Even with all of that attention she wasn't really using her faster cognition.
Before things failed, Tweedle had been making progress, slow progress, but progress. Even during the second, or perhaps third, main step she'd messed up. Her net had left uneven holes in the cores. Appoline had said "Just continue. They're not good enough for a proper potion now, but you might as well see how far you can get with the first attempt"
