Dunno, the episode's ending focused on Ao's wristband quartz being used up, rather than some random piece of the amalgam of quartz in the cannon. Moreover, the Scub woke up without their quartz cores so I don't think they are that attached to them and may possibly generate new ones on their own or something.
In the end, the result is favorable to the Secrets (death for them doesn't seem to be an issue and may well have been a catalyst rather than end goal of the firing, and you don't see them popping out of every orifice to chase after Ao's new toy), arguably favorable for the world (one less Scub means one less reason for Secrets to show up), favorable for the Goldilocks kids as they get to live normal lives with their parents (and Bruno's probably alive now), but unfavorable for the Scub (or so I would think).

E7 had double the episode count to work with. Its not exactly fair to compare their world building breath and character depths when you consider the disproportionate time resource of one over the other.
