TITLE

"Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?" is the pilot episode of Hannah Montana. The title is a reference to The Beatles song Do You Want to Know a Secret.

PLOT

Having moved to Malibu, Miley Stewart (aka pop star Hannah Montana), is concerned how her best friend, Lilly Truscott, will react if she finds out that Miley is Hannah. The two share every secret except that, because Miley fears Lilly will treat her differently if she knows that she is Hannah Montana. Lilly, a huge Hannah Montana fan, offers Miley one of her tickets to an upcoming Hannah Montana concert, but Miley turns her down saying that she didn't like Hannah Montana much and Lilly takes Oliver instead.

That day at school, Miley's crush, Johnny Collins (Corbin Bleu), says hello to her, in the lunch room. Miley's too nervous to sit down with him, and Lilly gives Miley her lucky bracelet to inspire her. Before Miley and Lilly can join Johnny, the girls' rivals, Amber and Ashley (popular kids and mean ones), take the last available seats. When Oliver comes to join the girls he is surprised when he knows that Lilly has backstage passes for the concert and speaks a little "too loud" about it and everyone rushes over to try to grab a ticket thereby bathing Miley and friends in french fries and many other eatables. Miley feels that she would never want to tell Lilly her secret as she now sees how she will be treated if people knew that she was Hannah Montana. The same day, Jackson asks her for backstage passes and tickets to the Hannah Montana concert and Miley accepts to give him the passes.

After the Hannah Montana concert, Lilly and Oliver sneak into Hannah's dressing room, but Oliver falls back out the window, retrieving a used Hannah Montana towel. Miley, concerned that Lilly will recognize her, shoves a pie in her own face and keeps trying to send Lilly out. But Lilly insists she (Hannah) give her something and when Hannah sticks out her arm ,Lilly notices the lucky bracelet around her wrist. Recognizing the lucky bracelet, Lilly wipes away the remains of pie on Hannah's face and realizes that Hannah and Miley are the same person. Lilly becomes angry with Miley that she never told her this huge secret before. Miley makes it up to her by showing Lilly her Hannah Montana closet. Lilly slips up once calling Miley "Hannah" and Miley regrets letting Lilly know. Afterwards Lilly apologizes and promises never to tell anyone that Miley is Hannah, the two make up and become friends again.

As a subplot, Miley's brother Jackson repeatedly asks his dad for money to impress his date at Hannah's concert, which Robby turns down. Later, he tries on dresses of Hannah's for $20.
