plant-care Some stems turning yellow on overwinters

I brought my overwinters outside and everything is great except that I noticed on some plants that the stems were yellowing. Should I leave it alone or cut them? Some of them went all the way dead but just the top stem. My first time overwintering plants but it seems they are doing fine since there is new growth. Thanks in advance for any advice on the cause or is this normal?

The plant looks good. Looks like it has had lots of light. :)
 
PERSONALLY, I would cut the brown branch that is pointing ot the left of the photo off. The smaller one that points up I would wait and see.
 
I have found that overwintered chillis are obsessive about water - not too little, not too much, and are more sensitive to temperature changes, but once all the variables are dialled back in, it will grow pretty darn fast.
