Narrative:

I had just signed in and relieved the controller in charge. There was a position relief briefing going on at R-68 and I noticed R-76 had a large volume of traffic. I decided I would put in a d-side with the next controller back. In the mean time; I stood behind the sector and monitored. The controller at R-76 was vectoring the B737 for his climb and was turning left and right to miss traffic. Ultimately the B737 passed in front of air carrier Y and separation was lost. I should have paged someone back instead of waiting; or I could have broken up training on R-58 and put in the trainee as the d-side at 76.
