She takes the potion on Tuesday night, when the friar had planned that she should take it Wednesday night. Even if Friar John had got through, Romeo would have come 24 hours too late. Of course it was always a fatal flaw in the plan that the potion lasted exactly 42 hours from the moment it was taken, but neither the Friar or Romeo would know exactly when it was taken. Basically, the Friar should have been on patrol constantly from a point 42 hours from the last time Juliet was seen alive.
