How does that kiss actually work?

When he kissed Lois to erase her memory that Clark is Superman, how did that kiss actually work? Did he just erase all the parts that he didn't like, or what?

Don't know HOW it works, but I think he somehow erased everything from the previous weeks from her mind. The Niagra Falls assignment, finding out Clark was Supes, Zod and his crew... everything from that period of time was taken away.

I assume that's what happened because after Clark leaves, she asks her co-worker "What's going on in the world?" She seems completely unaware of the super-battle and all the destruction it caused.

You just sound jealous because no one probably ever kissed you like that

I was kissed like that and woke up three days later with my wallet missing. Moral is to never kiss a Russian spy with drugs in her lipstick. Lesson learned.

I'm thinking a bit of making her forget about discovering who Superman really was and all the activities after that and giving an alternate memory to her regarding the criminals that were released from the Phantom Zone.

wipes out everything from her finding out he's Sups to the day they are in.
