She may have, but perhaps in Lacey's mind, that event was completely irrevelant to her because she could have considered that to be Belle's actions, not hers. I found it interesting she wanted to disassociate from Belle, who is essentially a part of her, especially when she outright told Mr. Gold in "Lacey" that she isn't Belle. Makes me wonder if what Regina did in triggering her "real" memories was kind of like a dominant personality coming out. I'm not saying it's like a multiple personality. But the fact Lacey kept referring to Belle as a different person, it seems she didn't consider herself to be Belle at all. Except for that part she briefly noted Mr. Gold as the guy who visited her at the hospital.

Since Belle remembered herself with the memory potion, she has shown no signs of Lacey at all, so perhaps Lacey is now dormant inside her somewhere? It's so different from other characters like Snow/MM who appear to speak and act with both characteristics of her two lives.
