He did let him go once, but then...crosshairs/bang.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What did I miss?
On re-watch: telescopic sight following the dog as it runs, loud mechanical sound as the scene shifts back to the plane in the present. The sound could have been a gunshot, could have been the release of the container from the plane, could have been both.
Was "Pablo Jimenez" a reference to anything?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
They come from warring factions on the planet of Winsome Big-Eyed Brunettes. Syke's parents were warriors of clan Just Say What You Mean, Goddamnit, while Raina's people hail from the Kingdom of Oblique Referrals.
This is AWESOME!
I actually thought when Raina said that Skye's parents were monsters "Skye's parents were Godzilla and Mothra?" then I realized it was the wrong country. That's how my brain works.

Possibly a reference to artists Pablo Marcos and Phil Jimenez.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I assumed Garrett had the scope, as Ward had a pistol.

Art Crawl!!!
DC, that's what I thought.
I couldn't decide if that meant that Garrett went ahead and killed the dog since Ward didn't. Or if we were shown that just to know why Garrett still talks about Ward's weakness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I thought for sure Ward went back to kill the dog. It doesn't make sense for Garrett to have done it - his goal wasn't for Buddy to die, it was for Ward to kill him to prove he wasn't "weak." I think if Garrett knew Ward hadn't done it, he would have just gotten rid of Ward. (And so Ward went back to kill Buddy so he wouldn't get caught in his initial moment of weakness.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Plus the episode made a point (as the show has before) about how great of a long-range shot Ward is, so he could have easily shot the dog with his rifle.

Or if we were shown that just to know why Garrett still talks about Ward's weakness.
This was my read. And why when Ward struggled with the decision about killing Fitz & Simmons, when he said something about liking them is his weakness, that was the last point made before he hit the button.
I think Buddy's "still" alive (10 years ago, large breed dog, so not so much until now, but then - still alive). Garrett didn't especially want the dog dead, he wanted Ward to prove he wasn't weak. I don't think he'd have bothered to kill the dog himself. Buddy wasn't a threat, just a symbol.
