Kaiki, my beloved.

Something to take into account here too, very subtle since it not said and you can only assume by what is said and how Araragi tell the story, but the Fire Sister always seem to have solved the problems by themselves, without demanding help from someone else. Might be an Araragi trait because we've seen how much Araragi struggle to ask for help too.

I think youre overthinking the sunflower. The older kids kicked a ball into their sunflower garden, so karen beat them up. Sending sunflowers is sorta like saying "Hey, remember why youre in the hospital?"

Knowing how this episode ends, I was absolutely delighted when you noted early on that we hadn’t see Senjougahara and Hanekawa talk with each other. Now a couple of language comments: First, the difference between “dead tree” and “sapling” is just Kaiki playing around with their age differences. Both his name (貝木) and Araragi’s (阿良々木) end with the same kanji for tree: 木. The pronunciation difference ("ki" and "gi") has to do with a characteristic of Japanese called “rendaku” that shifts the pronunciation of the consonant sound based on where it is in a word—well, sometimes. Next, I appreciate the struggle regarding the use of “betray” regarding Tsukihi’s appearance and character. It didn't get to me the first time, but it really bothered me after a rewatch. I think the wordplay goes like this: “Tsukihi’s appearance betrays her character.” Here, I think “betray” means “leads one astray,” to use the first Mirriam-Webster definition. That is, her appearance would make you think she’s mild and girly, when she’s really hot-tempered. “Her character isn’t betraying her appearance.” Here I look at the fourth meaning, which includes “indicate.” That is, her character isn’t indicating what she looks like. If you heard what Tsukihi was like before you saw her, you wouldn’t think she looks like she does. Unfortunately, my Japanese is still at an amateur's level, so I have no idea what the wordplay is in the original.
