Its obvious Fits left the tablet with the return program behind. Even Coulson shouldnt have made it to the portal but we can assume he ran I suppose. For the tenticle thing to get  to Wards body, and back to the portal in the remainder of the 60 seconds,   i'd say 'Ward' took it to find a new exit route. (seeing as the cinamatics were already about 6 minutes while the portal was open for only one)

We also dont know why Mack called on May to fire,  it was neves.r disclosed. Most likely hydra forces were breaking through, or they saw something else exit the portal. We dont know yet. I think Lash will have a big part to play in the 'Ward scenario'  and perhaps become a savior of sorts
