Narrative:
While captain was in lavatory I was cleared to cross bilet intersection at 11000 ft. I set up FMC for the crossing, but didn't reset the MCP. I never informed the captain we had a crossing restr when he came back from the lavatory. I got a late start on the descent but made bilit at 11000 ft. With our high rate of descent we were concerned the lag in ATC's computer may not have shown our having crossed bilit at 11000 ft.
