I don't know all that yet, because I haven't played Part 4 yet. In Part 3, Julia was still interested in Monica for purely romantic reasons (which she doesn't reciprocate).
Secretly, I hope that Julia will eventually manage to bring Monica to orgasm, and that she'll have to admit, with a heavy heart, that she might actually find lesbian stuff really hot, and that the fkae romance will turn into a real one after all. But I'm afraid that won't be granted to me.
What exactly do you dislike about Fred's blackmail? The fact that he's blackmailing Monica, or his attempts to get close to Julia? You actually can't prevent Monica's blackmail if you want to play the path. But you don't have to let Fred get close to Julia. You can reject him and still get to see everything that's going on between her and Monica. And it's all definitely worth seeing.

I don't like Fred either and hope he gets his payback too.
