Yeah, sorry for not being clear, I mean like the entirety of the Terrace House franchise will not be able to recover from this.
If you compare the Hana x Kai drama to an early conflict: Misaki & Natsumi in BGitC. It was revealed that the producers/editors made a conscious decision to edit their fight off the show, because it was so ugly and it could possibly have an effect on both talent's careers.
But then Aloha State happened which led to the combination of Cheri/Wez/Taishi that the producers/editors allowed us to view pure toxicity.
But the Kai x Hana episode was just soooo terrible on all sides, just a bitter stain that would be unlikely to wash away. What was once marketed as a boring, innocent, or however else the show was targeted to the West... that show is long gone.
Oh well, I strongly recommend people hunting down BGND, I feel like that was the pure essence of the franchise, where things were less contrived.

Without having seen the other seasons except BGND, I agree this casts doubt on the premise of the show being a good idea

(bulk from reddit with my tweaks):
N: I wanted to return the two of us to Karuizawa where you and I met two years ago. Since then, through good times and bad, deep down I could tell I want us to be together forever. Through all the times we've shared I have felt sadness and love, but my feelings have not changed. I want us to be together forever. In the place we met, where the feelings began, I asked you here. If you will, please marry me.

S: What's this?
N: Did you hear me?
S: "Marry me?"!
N: Your finger... (Puts ring on)
S: Really? "Marry me?"!
N: Please.
S: (looking at ring) What's this? Is it real?
N: (laughs) It's real!
S: Really?
N: From now on, let's enjoy lots of happiness.
S: Are you sure?
N: Of course
S: I am quite an old lady...
N: Where do we go from here?
S: We're getting married aren't we?!
N: We're getting married!
