[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Robby gives Miley and Jackson their own credit cards to only use in emergencies. Miley goes to the One Day Flea Market but finds that she does not have enough money with her to buy things that she wants. Although initially reluctant to use her credit card, eventually she gives in and comes home with a large amount of expensive purchases. When she talks to Jackson she realizes how much trouble she is going to be in with her father and decides to return the purchases and get the money back, but by this time the flea market is gone. She then asks Jackson to help her pay the debt. 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 she had worn in a music video back, because they mistakenly gave Hannah the real pair instead of the fake ones. Once she hears that, Miley attempts to gets the earrings back, and finds out that Katherine McCord (the woman who bought them) is living at a senior citizen retirement center. Miley (dressed as Hannah) and Jackson try to persuade Katherine to sell back the earrings, but she is very attached to them; she does, however, agree to give them up once Miley tells her (falsely) that the earrings had belonged to her grandmother, but will only return them if Miley's grandmother appears in person to claim them. For this purpose, Jackson dresses up as an old lady to trick her into giving back the earrings. He and Katherine have a very extended conversation in which she keeps pressing him for more stories from the past; Jackson makes up absurd stories involving President Lincoln, Samuel Morse, King Kong, while Miley periodically tries, without success, to end the conversation and get the earrings back. In the end it turns out that Robby has found out what is going on and is at the retirement center dressed up as an old man; he had intended to teach his children a lesson and the old woman had been in on his plan.

Miley is told by Robby that she has to clean the garage including the parts that need cleaning in order to pay off her credit bill. Jackson is also in trouble for selling some of Hannah Montana's stuff online which Robby noticed and Jackson wheelchairs himself right into the pool of the retirement center.

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title refers to The Beatles' song Let It Be
  • When Miley goes to Jackson for financial help, he looks like and sounds like Marlon Brando in The Godfather. It makes further reference to the movie whe she claims he had her waiting for 20 minutes to put on a costume and do a bad imitation, and when she calls him "Godbrother."
  • Oliver skateboards for the first time.
