This is really two lessons in one. I had my sister Penny drop in the Cabin to lend a hand on some Jesse McReynolds-style crosspicking. We'll work on some exercises that will get your hands going, then we'll apply to a version of "Wildwood Flower" in D.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.
