Ya gotta do what the muse dictates. That said, I personally don't want Lois to lose her memories. It's more interesting to this reader to have future Lois in this teenage body.
If she were to become the Lois of the present time, I'd have expected it to happen much sooner... not after making plans, traveling, finding Clark, etc.
This story has such an interesting premise that I hate to see it take this turn permanently. But the Muse must be obeyed. She tends to be more of a handful than even Lois!
