Lets say we find out that for some reason in a fictional world after 50 episodes they tell us "hey guys the sky isn't blue, it was green all along because the yellow was hiding..." then on episode 60 the yellow dies and no further episodes are affected. Can we really say the world is darker at that point? Yellow didn't do shit before so it's absence doesn't mean as much later.

In other words unless Summer was doing something this whole time as important as the MC's... she really might as well be dead, the audience has to empathize with her and with what Ruby's loss of her means to be truly impactful... and we really don't at this point. You can do a lot in ten episodes. Really, you can do a lot in just three or four episodes. They could make it lost as long as necessary. Hardly suggesting it needs to be a quick thing.
