So this theory isn’t completely wrong but it slightly is and here is why… when Ned and Mj were frozen by Jean you can obviously see Mj shed a tear and Ned look very spooked out after they were released, and what I think Jean did after she was able to get inside Peter’s mind and realized that he cared about her, she wanted to help him so she found all the memories of Mj and Ned in Peter’s mind and she didn’t “restore” or “unlock” them in their minds, because those memories no longer exist in that reality and Jean cannot alter a timeline unless she is using the phoenix force (which she obviously didn’t do yet in this movie) but rather she implanted/shared the memories they had together but they were all from Peter’s perspective because they were HIS memories so that’s why Mj was crying because she saw from Peter’s mind how much he loved her and how much he cared about getting her the necklace, and she could also see herself in love with him but she just can’t see what he looks like because they’re from his mind, and it was the same for Ned. That’s why Ned remembered the handshake bc he had all the memories of seeing himself doing the handshake with someone but bc they are all from Peter’s perspective he doesn’t see who he is doing the handshake with and what Peter looks like, but obviously in the memories he could see himself calling his best friend Peter, and Spider-Man, so when muscle memory kicked in and he did the handshake with the guy who introduced himself as Peter, he recognized that it was the Peter who he was apparently best friends with and obviously he recognized it was the same Peter who he also called Spider-Man in all of those memories, so when Mj had called Spider-Man, Peter, earlier in the movie, he put all the pieces together in his mind and realized he was the one whose memories were implanted in his mind.
