"Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?" is the pilot episode of the Disney Channel sitcom series Hannah Montana. It was written by Gary Dontzig, Steven Peterman, and Michael Poryes. It originally aired on March 24, 2006. The episode title is a reference to The Beatles song "Do You Want to Know a Secret?".
The episode starts with Hannah Montana — who is actually Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) — and Robby Ray Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus) singing the song "This Is The Life" for a sold out concert in Los Angeles the next day. Miley's personal fashion designer Fermaine is measuring her for her costume. Fermaine and Hannah start dancing and Fermaine's pants rip. Fermaine leaves. Miley's older brother Jackson (Jason Earles) is on the phone trying to ask a girl out. He says he knows Hannah Montana and has two incredible tickets for tomorrow night's concert. When he puts the phone down he says to Miley (dressed as Hannah) "I need two incredible tickets for tomorrow night."
Hannah/Miley refuses, so Jackson seeks help from his dad, who says to Miley/Hannah, "Think about it this way, he goes out with the girl, they fall in love, they get married and move out." Hannah then agrees. The phone rings and Miley's best friend, Lilly (Emily Osment) is on the line. She says "incoming in 20 seconds" and Hannah/Miley takes her Hannah wig off and puts a blue jacket over her Hannah clothes. Lilly enters on a skateboard. She says "I have two incredible tickets to the one, the only, Hannah Montana!"
Lilly questions Miley why she doesn't want to go to the concert. Miley says she wants to spend quality time with her brother (hoping Lilly will believe her). Lilly tries to force her to come but Miley doesn't agree. Miley's other best friend, Oliver Oken (Mitchel Musso) has a crush on Hannah Montana (before he knew she was Miley) and somewhat stalks her. Before the episode ended, Lilly finds out Miley is Hannah and keeps her secret. It is in the following episode, "Miley Get Your Gum," that we learn Hannah Montana has already been around for 2 years when we are first introduced to her. Oliver says, "Well there goes 2 years of my life," when Miley shows that she's really Hannah Montana.
