I don't know that the Crayak thing was so much a matter of leadership as it was Rachel resenting being told what to do (And held back when Jake thought she was taking things too far) and wanting to do things her own way. I'm not really sure that she wants to be a leader. She tries it out a couple of times when Jake is out of commission, but never seems to take to the position (I'd say she gives up on the idea entirely in The Weakness), but she's also not really a fan of taking orders. She takes them from Jake most of the time, although she comes off resentful a few times even with Jake, but she's generally reluctant to take orders from anyone else.
She likes to do things her way and, in 48, Crayak was offering her the power to be able to do things her way (With fear added in to complicate the matter thanks to David)... with a serious price attached to that. I actually doubt that Rachel would ever really have caved in and accepted the offer, but I imagine that potential power could be rather intoxicating for her.
Of course, I could be reading that entirely incorrectly.
