If it turns out that Pintsize is seriously injured, that really could be a turning point, some real consequences that might force Faye to think about where she is and where she is going.  (Whether it would lead to the beginning of a struggle towards recovery, or a further sliding down the spiral is another question entirely...)

Zebediah:
Pintsize is going to be fine. Jeph would not have the death of a major character happen off-camera. And yes, Pintsize is still a major character, even if we haven't seen as much of him lately.

There had been something bugging me about this comic and I think I know what it is, and that's Marten's complete lack of surprise. As opposed to here. The cases are similar. If he had no heads up, he would probably, upon seeing Pintsize be like "What the fuck ...?" instead of resigned silence. The same with Faye. He looks concerned but he doesn't have the look of shock as a person who has no idea that their roommate got fired for drunkenness and might have gone on a bigger bender. So I am thinking, especially since prior to their first date he told Claire that getting all dressed up wasn't really necessary, that Dora did call him or text him, or at the very least, texted Tai.

I suspect the scent of puke hit him the moment he opened the door.

Natswash:
Ben stop making scary predictions! It's scary!

I think Pintsize may have tried to stop Faye from overdosing with the booze and she turned him off in a grumpy taciturn response.
Thinking about an AnthroPC getting turned off is actually kinda frightening, it's a massive loss of personal power (pun unintended and then relished and kept). I have to wonder if they have the ability to turn themselves back on after being externally deactivated, or if they must wait for external reactivation. If it's the first that must be a massive fear for some of them.

A Duck:
What I think can happen now that Marten had to cancel his date:
Claire, being inexperienced and apparently quite insecure, might be a little shaken. I don't think she knows about Marten and Faye's pre comic 500 past, so when she DOES learn about that, she might start going down the same insecurity route Dora went.
And that's the moment Dora herself enters the picture and tells Claire not to make the same mistake she did.

I can see Pintsize's current situation being used to bring up a AI rights subplot.
