Backstory: Clare become pregnant with her daughter, Stephanie, as a teenager and decided it would be best to give her up for adoption at birth. All their lives Clare and Stephanie had wondered about the other. Two years ago Clare hired someone to help her find her daughter, in hopes of reconnecting. The process was quick as the two surprisngly only lived a few blocks away from one another. The result wasn't quite what Clare had hoped. Although Stephanie herself also wanted to regain contact, they had become two completely different people. Stephanie didn't stick around long because of this. Clare is a hardcore republican, who married rich, and lives in a big house. Stephanie is the exact opposite. She finds her mother to be self centered, rude, defensive, and pretentious. Stephanie does not believe blood is thicker than water, and doesn't feel she has any true connection to this woman who has been absent for 20 years. Although Clare wants to change if it means having her daughter in her life, if only as a friend. Clare wants to try to better their relationship, but every time Stephanie has closed the door in her face. Once she saw the SURVIVOR promotion, Clare contacted Stephanie, believing the once in a life time opportunity will be able to bond them like no other. Besides the fact they could better themselves if they won, Clare wants to show Stephanie her life isn't all about her riches, and that she can live when she's stripped away with nothing. Stephanie isn't so sure, but had a hard time saying no, considering she is her birth mother, and has high hopes her intentions are real.
