I don't understand why she did not let Ward die. Did the writers really believe that if she did not pay the ransom, she was responsible for his death? A certain scene from Blazing Saddles keeps running through my head.
Who died and made you Elvis?

I wonder what the tow truck driver will say if they have to tow Lola?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't understand why she did not let Ward die.
Yeah. Either her soft spot for Ward is equal to his for her in spite of all that "disgusting" talk, or she just flat out is not cut out to make the hard decisions that they have shown realio-trulio Agents of SHIELD have to make.
ETA: that or the Easter Egg she left for them in that encrypted hard drive was just so good she wanted them to have it and if so, there was no point in Ward dying.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The last one would make the most sense.
But I'm afraid that making sense is not the main aim.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think Skye should have let Ward die. I mean, that could have been a right choice also, but I don't think giving in is necessarily the wrong choice. Remains to be seen.

She's not yet the person who can watch someone she knows die slowly and painfully in front of her. Especially at the hands of someone she feels sorry for. I liked that she didn't start shrieking in horror "no, no, you can't do that." She thought about it.
Besides, without Ward to play his "No, really, honey, it's OK" games, she'd have to deal with whatever Mike would do to get the information.

That is what I was looking for. Not necessarily a reason I'd agree with, but one that makes sense for her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This. I'd expect that she'd feel like she'd kill him, and so far the show's been pretty clear about who's a killer and who's not. If he'd killed someone on the team, and she was reacting that rawly, but even though Hydra are 100% the bad guys, she has a relationship to this guy, and it's abstract evil even though it's in her face.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Did I skim too much, or am I really the first one to comment on Skye being originally named "Mary Sue Poots"?
That killed me. I also loved the Hydra logo at the end of Turn, Turn, Turn. Gave me a wiggins.
The reveal in the stinger about the TAHITI project made me really uncomfortable about Nick Fury in general. Even if he ain't Hydra, he kind of sucks, a lot. First of all, I wonder what the timing was WRT the first Avengers movie and the resignation. And using a technology on Coulson that was already stated by him that he finds it immoral and horrible and filled with side effects and prices and pirfalls? It's just so, so, cold blooded and cruel. I knew Fury was cold blooded, but I really hope we find out why on earth he would subject Coulson to this.
