Rachel is wearing her moms outfit and using her name because Jean asked her to. Its very nice of Rachel to honor her mother so. Rachel even pointed out she wouldnt have chosen either if it wasnt for her mom.

I can somewhat agree about Rachel picking up the plot, but only on this one occasion and we havent even found out the whole story yet.

Rachel has :rachel: that :dawn: Jean used to have. Jean only had it astrally. We still dont know the whole story, but I believe we will find out during the Uncanny arc explaining Psylocke's ressurection.

Rachel never had a family, they all got killed. Scott and Rachel grew to love her and accept her. They know she isnt TRULY their daughter, but they treat her as such.

Bartsimpson, have you ever been reunited with family or met long lost family members? You catch up very quickly. True Claremont might use elements from the past, but they were ones that worked. Having the entire Grey family was very shocking and hardly "unoriginal" to me and many others.

Oh and everyone who likes Rachel I agreed with your points.
