Episode Summary

After Miley charges a wild shopping spree to her emergency credit card, she begs Jackson to help her pay it off before Robbie finds out. Jackson hatches a plan to auction off Hannah's old clothes and a fake pair of sapphire earrings given to her for a video shoot. The siblings manage to raise the money to cover her debt and she thinks that they are home free. That is until Robbie tells them that the jeweler wants the sapphire earrings back, because they mistakenly gave Hannah the real pair instead of the fake ones.moreless

    Miley spends too much with her new credit card and she asks Jackson for help. They devise a plan to sell Hannah's earrings to pay off the credit card. However, Robbie tells Miley that he needs the earrings back and Miley doesn't know what to do. In the end, Robbie knew that Miley and Jackson sold the earrings and was just cathing them in the act to teach them a lesson. I thought the story in this episode was pretty good. The ending was funny and I didn't expect it. Overall, ok episode with a few good funny moments and an ok story.moreless

    I thought this episode was just another great addition to the series. Of course it caused Jackson to dress up as their grandmother but by all means one thing led to another. Eventually her father did find out because the plan to get one of the items sold by mistake to pay off Miley's debt backfired on Miley and Jackson. Some of the items Miley had wrongly purchased came with a hysterical reason. Anyway this episode was another great one added to the season which hopefully will continue on to the next season. Good work Miley, Jackson, Oliver, Lilly, and everyone else!moreless

    Basically, Robbie gives Miley and Jackson credit cards (don't be jealous :) ) but Miley ends up using it for a shopping spree instead of an emergency after Lilly reasons that the sale was an emergency. Miley decides to sell her earrings that she wore a long time ago to get the money back, but then her dad said the something-or-other (I haven't watched this one for a while) needed them back. Miley found out that the earrings were bought by someone in a retirement home. She goes there as Hannah Montana and sees an old lady wearing them, and tries to get her to give them back, but she loves em too much to give them back. So miley blackmails Jackson into dressing up as an old woman XP to get them back. Jackson and the lady talk for awhile, then he tries to get them back, but she still wouldn't give em back. In the end, Miley and Jackson find out that that Robbie knows the old lady, and asked her to buy them and not give them back to teach the kids a lesson.

    This is probably something I would do if i was famous and got a credit card and had sapphire earrings and an older brother named Jackson :)moreless
