With one out and Red R2, Blue catcher requested time for mask repair....

When the catcher was ready again, PU yells to BU, "How many outs?" and the answer was, "Two."
PU says, "Play."

...What should've/could've been done?

I don't see any problem with the way the situation was handled. When the umpires make a mistake that can reasonably be undone, the mistake should be corrected as soon as it is discovered.

Thanks, Warren!
