Ok, so they died pretty much simultaneously, but the final piece of tape was put on Lisa last. In fact, they ran out of tape, right? Her legs weren't even bound with tape IIRC. I had always worried that was because they sexually assaulted her, but now I think they just didn't have enough tape. So maybe that's why she gets bopped on the head, to subdue her as they try to tie her legs up with -- what was it? sweat pants or something? -- or maybe they just held her down until she stopped struggling and by then it was over.
Why didn't they have enough tape? Had never done it before and underestimated what was required? Hadn't planned to tape up more than one person? That was just all the tape they had? They needed extra tape for Johnny because he was strong?
