My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
