i mean, what the hell?

she wakes up, looking at those 2 cars.

why doesn't she try to touch someone?

why doesn't she try to phone someone?

Watch the episode again, she has been hypnotised into believing she cannot move, so she is stuck standing where she is until her phone rings, then she is able to move. She expresses a couple times under her breath that she cannot move.

The reason she cannot call anyone is because her phone was in the car, and while she can't move until it rings, then obviously she can't call anyone.

To do it as a set up, with all participants being actors to fool the audience at home into believing it's all real simply isn't Derren Brown's style.

It's a particularly harsh trick though. I thought the one with the ventriloquist dummy was bad, this is clearly on another level!
