| Full Episode Summary |
| Miley falls for a cute ninth grader named Josh. In her first chance to impress him, she ends up embarrassing herself in front of him by picturing him as a concert audience. She is shocked to find that he wants to go out on a date with her. Robbie isn’t convinced, however, so he invites him over for an inspection. Josh and Robbie share completely different views. The largest one that opposes Miley is him not liking Hannah Montana. Miley convinces herself that their date is ruined. That is until Josh wants to give it another go and decides to ask her out to a Hannah Montana concert. She agrees to this likely impossible date, seeing as she can’t perform and be with Josh at the same place at once. So she recruits Lilly and Oliver’s help. The two distract Josh while Miley performs, and when Miley needs to go back to Josh, she improvises with guitar and drum solos. She really wants Hannah to impress Josh, so she goes out on limbs to try things he suggests would make Hannah cooler. Even after all their hard work, the plan fails and Josh leaves the concert without a word. Miley is devastated by this, but is comforted when her dad encourages her that she will find a boy out there that likes her so much there will be nothing else to change. Miley realizes that she is lucky to have such great friends and family to support her.
Meanwhile, Jackson meets Olivia. She’s a party-type of girl and she seems to really like Jackson. Jackson also really likes her. That is, until he finds out that Olivia is Cooper’s sister who is visiting. Cooper tells Jackson his sister would never be interested in a guy she just met. Jackson tells Olivia that they won’t work out together because he doesn’t want to endanger Cooper’s friendship. Olivia won’t take no for an answer and ends up kissing Jackson when Cooper walks in. Cooper sides with his sister who disagrees with everything Jackson tells Cooper, such as, “He was all over me”. Olivia walks outside, and Cooper is about to leave Jackson until he finds Olivia kissing a pizza boy. Cooper realizes that Jackson is telling the truth and forgives him. |
