When we first see Steven and Gersten, she asks, "Why?" then he says, "There is no why. I did do it." Then at the end of the scene, the man walking the dog in the woods points to Steven's trailer.
Anyone else think that Steven is distraught because he's killed Becky?
Distraught because he killed someone, yes, but I didn't think Becky. It's plausible though.
I had the odd thought of what if he thought he had already killed himself.
As long as nobody kills Carl, well, whatever, I guess.

I was hoping to see Carl summon a quad and head into the woods.

This again begs questions of time. When did Becky call Shelly distraught about not having seen Steven in 2 days?
I think He (She) or they have killed someone but under unclear circumstances. Remember Steven threatening Becky yelling "i know what you did? " episodes ago? Now He seems to recognize that he committed this fact....
Maybe they were so tripped they woke up just in time to hide the traces of whatever they've done. Did they kill Billy?

You mean Cyril Pons, a.k.a. Mr. Mark Frost? 😉
It would be strange to discover that he killed Becky off camera.
Did you also see that Gersten has an old-style key around her neck?

It would definitely be No-Country-For-Old-Men-esque.
I'm pretty sure Carl would have noticed if someone had been shot in his trailer park. Cyril just pointed and said "he lives in that trailer." The broken window was from the mug.
I don't think those two came out from hiding in the stairwell and murder the girl that just tried to go on a rampage and shoot them. I think something else is up.
Maybe Steven did not kill anyone, but just can no longer escape the crushing impact of his failure with Becky anymore by running to Gersten and drugs, the impact of it all has finally caught up with him. Steven is feeling extremely guilty about his breakup with Becky, that his relationship with her is over, after he 'knew what she did'(probably cheated on him) then he reacted angrily and left for Gersten. Steven is blaming himself: when he says 'I am a high school graduate', he is referring to his failure to fill out a form properly or find a job; 'high school graduate' is the qualifications/standards/law passed on by his teachers which he was supposed to live up to, but failed. This is very similar to Hastings' guilt when he tried to meet the major through the vortex, when 'people' ran in and pushed him down, yelling at him 'Who is your wife?'. Something like an excessive law here(Major Briggs as stand in for the law) that blames you to the point of torture for failure to meet the standards, even if its not your fault or if it was impossible to do better at that time(for example, Hastings real dreams were with Ruth and his wife cared nothing about him, there is no real way he could have had a successful marriage when his wife was ruining it herself as well, but nevertheless he keeps hearing....'life in prison Bill, life in prison....'). Hastings' guilt about the affair was forced, after which he may have killed Ruth in a blind acting out; and now in a similar way Steven was about to act out blindly with the gun, overwhelmed by guilt in the deep woods. Steven's failure was probably the catalyst for Becky to do whatever she did to make him so angry, that he didnt have money for drugs or something and she had to look elsewhere, etc...but we will find out for sure if Steven killed someone and what Becky did probably soon.....
In the first roadhouse scene of the series one of Shelley's friends says "everyone loves Steven". How or why? He seems to have no redeeming features.
Maybe Becky killed Gersten's dog when she shot through the door to the apartment and Steven is feeling responsible.
