I really want to know what Westmoreland said to Rachel to make her completely change her tone overnight. It just seems so unbelievable. I saw somewhere that someone has a theory that Rachel's eye might come into it since he was the one to build it. Not a bad theory tbh.

It's obvious now that Rachel has done Westmoreland's bidding before. She was seeing the decapitated head of a swan. It was planting the seed in her mind that the head of the Leda project had to go. Who else would want Rachel to take such an action? Who else would want to test exactly how far they could make Rachel go via manipulation/brainwashing? When Rachel runs into beardy guy in 4x10 he says to her "do not waver" as if he knows exactly what Rachel has to do, and how else would he know her directive even if Rachel at that point doesn't, which is attack Susan as the head of the swan. At the time the way Rachel reacts when stabbing Susan seems to be out of pent up anger stemming from her abandonment issues, and it was that partly, but I'm not sure she would have gone quite so bat**** if she hadn't been seeing the images in her eye. I feel like Westmoreland has been shaping Rachel to get her to where she is, used the eye as a tool. It could even be doing something else to her brain. We don't know since it definitely doesn't just serve the purpose of giving her sight. Even after one meeting it's probably not that hard to get Rachel under his spell. I mean all he has to do is play up to her parent issues. Tell her that she's the real child of Neolution. Tell her everything she has ever wanted to hear from Susan, her mother, added to the eye shenanigans and Rachel is probably willing to take in every word and she was doomed the moment she had it put in as a replacement. #tl:dr Westmoreland had already indoctrinated Rachel in S4 via the eye messages and it's not an instant change overnight after all. __________________

It definitely makes me want to see interaction between Rachel and Westmoreland anyway. Should be interesting.

i still don't believe for 1 minute that rachel's truly changed. what she's always wanted is to be, essentially, The Chosen One. to have power, control, and be the "best" of the clones. now she has that and all she has to do is act like she's down with whatever westmoreland is selling. if she's given an opportunity to tun on people for personal gain, imho, she'll take it without a thought.
