Helena in the car park in S01E01 (self.severance)

I was thinking back to the first episode when Mark nearly ran over Helena in the car park, providing a confirmation "oh hey he really doesn't recognise her".

Knowing what we do now though,

  1. Did Mark not realise that he nearly ran over one of the Lumon leadership? He acts as if she was just some random employee.
  2. Why is Helena walking to an old car in the outer reaches of the car park when she is so senior and tends to get driven around? (Maybe the flowers she's carrying are a clue?)

I think she became the face and advocate of the severance process after the almost run-over incident happened. The big event in episode 109 was probably the big public reveal that she had become severed. At least that's my thinking. I have no trouble accepting that she may not have been that well-known before then, especially considering that she seems to have lived an incredibly sheltered life.
