Is this Gerbera going to make it?

Hello,

I just got a Gerbera today that isn't exactly looking it's best. If you are wondering why I'd buy a plant like that, it's because it has a cool mutated flower and was only $3. Anyway, now I have a plant that I have no idea what is wrong with it. I am pretty new to container gardening, as I just started this summer. I am going to put the links to some pictures. Can someone tell me what looks wrong with it? It's leaves are drooping, and some at the bottom are turning yellow (so, Home Depot could have over-watered, perhaps?)

Is it normal for a Gerbera to have two leaves growing from one stem, or is this something else that is unusual about this plant? All of its other stems contain just a single leaf.

Thank you for any advice you may have! :)
