Justin has just started dating Miranda from his class, but he has troubles relaxing in the relationship and is scared of the thought of kissing. Alex offers her help to him so he still has a chance and she doesn’t break up, but when she uses a spell that rewinds time, they rewind more than just the failed kisses. Meanwhile, a representative from the New York Mets really takes a shine to Max’s own sandwich and says it can become the official sandwich of the team. The only problem is that Max doesn’t remember how he created it.

Episode Goofs
In this episode, Justin has a girlfriend, Miranda. But eight episodes later, "Pop Me And We Both Go Down," Justin starts dating this new girl from his class, who's actually the same Miranda. This doesn't make any sense. How is she a new student and how could they just meet if they were dating eight episodes ago?
Cultural References
Visual: Miranda has a Gothic lifestyle.

Analysis
Although it's only the partial plotline of the episode, Max's own sandwich ("To The Max") has double meanings. One is of course a reference to his name, while the other refers to the sandwich being really awesome, as in "To The Maximum" (of deliciousness).
