"How does RZ, who is frantically busy all day shuttling people to and from the airport and hospital..." you ask.

From Spreckels, the SD airport is 21 min. one way. Do we assume she drove to and from the airport a total of six times for three guests? That is 51 miles, not including hospital trips. That is 126 minutes or 2h, 6m. Add an ample hour for each guest for incidentals like trips to Dina's and the hospital. = 5h,6m shuttle service
Guest Arrival/Departure time
1. XZ Not Sure
2. NR Not Sure
3. AS someone on the thread mentioned 4 - 4:30? arrival
The Diggety Dog Owner visits RZ at the mansion around 8:45 to take possession of Ocean. If Diggety Dog leaves by 9am, RZ likely is free to begin shuttling and needs a generous 5h,6m shuttle time. There is plenty of time. She is not frantic. Diggety Dog owner described her as quiet. Remember? Not frantic. Provide a link describing RZ as frantic on shuttle day. She wasn't frantic. Mary said her sister did not blame herself for Max's fall. Mary and RZ discussed Thanksgiving in July.
RZ was not frantic. That is a word chosen to embellish the situation but it doesn't belong.
Maybe she had xtra time waiting at the airport so she thinks about the searches she will make or perhaps googles a few topics.
Maybe she waited to search over a dozen keywords until she arrived back at the mansion. I choose this one.
Did LE search the contents of the mansion looking for more ropes? In the master suite? In the master suite closets and drawers? Or long silk ties for Kimonos?
You say she was inexperienced at tying knots. Please provide that link b/c I haven't seen it. She lived on the beach in the summertime. Was there ever any boating? Perhaps I should search for a photo where they are boating.
I can safely assume RZ was familiar with tying rope. A look at her suicide bondage proves that.
