At first I thought, Ward is doing this because he wants to take the emotion out of things and infiltrated Hydra, but its pretty clear that Hand is dead, also Saffron Barrows who played agent hand isn't in any more episodes, and they made a big thing out of showing her bleeding.

Spoiler!

I half suspect that Hand isn't dead, and that this was all pre-meditated. They could have been iced for all we know. But I can't say for sure until we find out what they do with the people they shot on the plane.

And yeah, as I was watching Captain America, it became clear to me that May was contacting Fury. I totally thought Hand was Hydra during the movie as well, and was sure of it right until John (Paxton) revealed himself.
