"Fascinating enough to get stuck in here?" Helen questions, looking around to see if the exit is showing yet. Luckily, at least one of them helped develop this technology, so whatever has happened shouldn't prove impossible to fix. Difficult, certainly, but not impossible.
"Computer, exit," she commands. Again, nothing happens. She sighs in frustration. They're stuck. A rattling somewhere off in the direction of Baker Street tells her that either someone is trying to get in through a side maintenance shaft or they're trying to pry open the doors. Either way, at least they know that someone is trying to get this fixed.
"Looks like we're stuck in here. We need to find a way out. Do you think you can use your magnetism again, like you did in the computer system in Old City?" It won't quite be the same, but it might at least be a good attempt. Better than sitting around here to wait for a rescue.
And while she made a conscious effort not to phrase the magnetic question the same way she had back then, she still manages not to phrase it in a way that doesn't leave things wide open for him.
