It (along with the lack of explanation for their absence is) also irrelevant to the trope. Mentioning skekUng and skekNa is a Call Forward. Omitting the Treasurer has nothing at all to do with that. Put on a Bus, maybe, but frankly doesn't warrant mentioning under this trope which is entirely about making reference to future events.

The Slave Master's main occupation isn't very useful and the Garthim don't exist yet. They need just about every Skeksis they can summon, since they go themselves to battle in the next episode, no matter how terribly unprepared to battle their race is outside of the Hunter. Besides, they mention skekLi the Satirist - a storyteller, and skekSa the Mariner, none of them any less or more useful than the Treasurer.

skekShod is the Treasurer, and likely not nearly as useful a replacement for the Hunter as the other two would be.

Rian and Deet acquire one half of the Dual Glaive from Maudra Argot, who hid it within her walking stick. They learn that Ordon had hidden the other half at Stone-in-the-Wood's crucible. At the Castle, Aughra offers her essence to revive skekMal in exchange for the captive Gelflings' freedom. Though skekSo accepts, he orders skekVar to kill the prisoners before they escape. Now permanently joined with the Ascendancy, Tavra reveals the Arathim-Gelfling alliance and injures skekVar before being fatally wounded by skekSil. He wins skekVar's loyalty by giving him a vial of essence to heal himself with. When it appears that Aughra's essence was not enough to prevent skekMal's death, skekSil proposes to the other Skeksis that they should create an obedient army from Arathim corpses. Rian reunites the Dual Glaive and issues a call to arms, calling all Geflings to meet at Stone-in-the-Wood. Hearing through the Crystal and threatening retaliation, skekSo orders an attack at dawn to stop the Rebellion before it can begin.
