Heater went out...

Went on a family trip, checked it last night and they were ok. Today...not so much. They are wilted but not crispy, turned a darker green color and looked just...bad. 
 
So I got the heater back ok and got the temp back up to 75 right now for the night. I also watered them with a bit a luke warm water to try and get some warm water through the roots to maybe help the cells pump back up. 
 
So what do you guys think, any chance of saving them? The worst part of it all, I had one plant that I had no idea what it was with at least 100 flowers on it making peppers...
 
I think there's a good chance of saving them, but you'll have to wait it out.
 
Within a few days, or a week at most, you should be able to figure out the extent of the damage. (dead/yellowing branches, flower drop, etc etc)
 
If any fertlized flowers survived, they may produce oddly shaped pods because of this episode.
