Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Given this set of circumstances, what types of assistance would a commercial-rated pilot be able to offer assuming she is not rated on this type aircraft? I would guess-communications with ATC primarily. What else? Reading checklists aloud, perhaps setting radios & transponder, another set of eyes looking for traffic. Of course, what seems to have been left out of this story is that the Captain was likely perfectly capable of flying the plane all by himself, but still, 1.5 pilots should be slightly safer than 1; particularly if the Captain and the Copilot ate the same meal!.
