Vision wasn\\\'t dying - Vision is dead, as Pietro so eloquently reminded us. Whatever was going on, Darcy, Hayward - anyone other than Wanda really - had no chance to help him in any way. Please note that the \\\"mockery\\\" is your read of the situation, not a factual event.
Hayward is absolutely biased against Wanda. The show takes pains to show that, repeatedly. But \\\"bias\\\" doesn\\\'t equal \\\"bad\\\" or \\\"wrong\\\". The narrative brushes aside or minimizes any suggestion that that bias is reasonable.
Compare that to the way it treats Monica\\\'s clear bias in favor of Wanda. Look at the the situation around Wanda\\\'s emergence from the Hex post drone attack.
An unstable, erratic super-powered individual acknowledges that she is mind-controlling thousands of innocent people, and states she has no intention of setting them free. When threatened, she casually mind-controls another dozen armed individuals, confirming her power to control people outside of the Hex.
A mid-level agent of the organization tasked with monitoring/dealing with this threat steps forward and proudly declares herself to be an \\\"ally\\\" of this super-powered individual. A day or two earlier, this same agent was under the same mind control as the trapped civilians. Her medical scans showed major brain abnormalities after her extraction. She refused to comply with medical follow ups. She has been openly questioning the actions of her superiors.
Her bias is absolutely fine, and cannot be questioned - she\\\'s the protagonist.
(Extra bonus note: a decade or so earlier, SHIELD was brought to its knees by a few mind-controlled agents)
Let me be very clear - I absolutely expect that in another couple of episodes, Monica and the gang will find some deep dark secret at SWORD. They will be retroactively justified in all of their subterfuge, etc. The problem is that the show is asking the viewer to pretend like that has already happened.
