I noticed my cayennes and scorpions growth stunted and were turning yellow. I chalked it up to overwatering and stopped to let soil dry out.
I got a lot of good suggestions on that post that I really appreciated.
7 days later I’m not seeing much improvement? I was hoping maybe someone on here can tell me if they see anything I don’t. It was raining so I didn’t get the best pic. I also added some compost on top before the rain to hopefully add some juice to them. Let me know what you think!

Not sure where you are located but it is massively early to have peppers out in the ground in most northern states
I’ve been in this exact situation many times. Sometimes they bounce back and sometimes they don’t. IMO it all has to do with the health of the root system. My advice is to water as little as possible for a few weeks and be patient.

Go out any buy a replacement. You can always split the difference. Replace the cayenne (which should be easy to find) and wait on the scorpion.
Either way, best of luck!
Give them fertilizer and don’t water too often. Some Compost is too weak to be the only fertilizer you use
Fertilizer
I would pop the the little flowers off and let it concentrate on leaf development instead of fruiting
