I believe the potion made her actually forget finding out the savior is Henry's mother and wiping that information clean from her mind. It makes sense since the scene prior with Archie was her expressing fears the birth mother would inevitably, by fate, come back for Henry. She already has Rumplestiltskin's prophecy hanging over her head about the savior who will break the curse in twenty-eight years. I belive it is stressing Regina out even more to know that person is her child's birth mother and that when the time comes, she'll not only lose her status and power, but also the one person she loves (Henry).
