Did you have fun without me?

You're alive??...

This isn't good, maybe God is punishing me, I'm going to get exposed

Around the same time, Dimsdale falls sick; suffering from an unknown illness. The stress of him getting exposed by the public is getting into his head.
I heard Hester's husband is back, I hope he doesn't find out
