Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: Will this hellebore survive?, 1 by caitlinmm

I received 2 hellebores, shipped from Spring Hill. One appeared wilted with brown leaves, while the other appeared healthy. I have included pictures of just the sick one, as well as both side by side for comparison. I contacted them and they immediately shipped out a replacement free of charge. Does anyone with hellebore experience have any thoughts as to the survival prospects of the sickly plant? Or thoughts as to what might be wrong with it? Thanks!
