That's the way it is. However, it's still not clear to me what's in it for Victoria to blackmail Rebecca, who is penniless compared to Stephanie and has to indulge her friend's whims to keep sponsoring her "social life"..It's obvious that Becca
can't pay off the 2 million (if anything) and it's even more obvious that Stephanie won't help her with it. So what's the goal here? If the true goal is still Stephanie and her senator father, then Becca is a weak player here, she doesn't have the character, willpower to influence Stephanie to the degree necessary (for Victoria/Philip's mysterious purposes).
