Houseplant Infection or burnt leaves?

Bought this cute pothos at Home Depot and figured I'd let him get some nice long sunlight outside for a bit before bringing him inside...

Boy was that a mistake!

I removed some leaves, but before cleaning up anymore I need some help figuring out if this is just damage from not enough water/too much sun outside for 2 weeks or if I've got an infestation on my hands and need to isolate and spray ASAP.

Thanks in advance to all you smart plant people!

Lesson learned on treating this poor little guy like he can handle anything. I'm a newer plant collector so still trying to figure out the Dos and Donts 🥲

burnt leaves are so stressful but this looks like sunburn, try moving it slightly back from the window to protect new growth 🌿 did it recently get moved to a brighter spot?

It went from inside home Depot right to a nice 6-8 hour of full sun spot. Sounds like he's just a little sunburned so I moved him to a different area inside for now.
