I still don't get why....

Erica was so pissed at Ryan at the end of season 2. His daughter was being held hostage. Wouldn't Erica do the same things he did?

If you mean where Ryan tipped off Anna, his actions didn't make much sense. He was basically trusting Anna that his daughter needed bliss. It happened to be true, but there had been no proof of this. You also have Lisa to consider. She'd be taking up role as queen, able to bliss his daughter if it's needed.

So what exactly would Erica never forgive Ryan for?

Because Erica was a hypocrite. In the episode Concordia she didn't want to assassinate Anna initially because it meant siding with Eli. Ryan was for it because he wanted to get his daughter back, but Erica was adamant and said she would stop them at all costs. All of a sudden when that turd she called a son decides to move up to the mothership, Erica has a complete change of heart. Again "this one time" she decides to make an exception and work with Eli. The show would have been much better off if both mother and son had fallen off the mothership in the second episode.

Could not agree more!
Erica was the greatest hypocrite ever! Everything was about her and her traitorous son Tyler. One minute she was against taking action that might harm someone, then as soon as her precious son was in any danger she was willing to do anything...killing innocents, torture, the works. She was an absolutely terrible leader with her total selfish inconsistency.
I enjoyed the series but must say Erica for me was one of the worst hypocritical, arrogant and dislikable characters ever on TV.

"still don't get why"

Most of you don't get this show.
The show was about manipulation & scamming. Erica did want to kill Anna of course, just not with a bomb that'd kill innocents. They compromised and used a dart-gun.

Ryan was probably LYING (playing a triple-agent) when he said he wanted Anna dead to get his daughter back. Anna had manipulated Ryan saying "Only I can help your daughter's pain" (Meaning you can't kill my evil ass).
