OK -  if the argument is "how can we know Ward's mind?", let's opine on possible fallout for him for his "allegiance" with Lorelei:

If Ward had his faculties from start to finish he should be facing criminal charges for his actions:  aiding and abetting a fugitive from another jurisdiction (or realm in this case);  conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and conspiracy to commit mass murder (world domination part); assault and battery and attempted murder of a S.H.I.E.L.D agent May. For in-house charges he comprised himself and his team for falling in line with Lorelei. If anything, the S.H.I.E.L.D. brass is going to find out what happened to Ward (from an official report and gossip stemming from that rumpled bed in the Vegas hotel room). They would order Ward to go under a psych evaluation and restricted duty because questions are going to be raised about Ward's reliability and trustworthiness after this.
