I'm guessing at this point it's not able to be saved and just need to start over?

You would be surprised. Trim off all the dead stuff and see what happens.

I have seen an old pumpkin plant being transplanted and it immediately wilted. Surprisingly, after 2 weeks it refreshes again.

Did you get frost?

You should put in your post your location and what the damage is. Assuming that’s a pic of a tomato in Florida that got hit by one frost and won’t be hit with frost again I’d say you’re fine. The roots and stem are all still intact. Just give the plant time and a little pruning.

Frost is typically a killer for tomatoes

Try to protect it again for tonight’s frost and then trim off any dead or frost damaged tissue. If it doesn’t work the next one will grow so much faster since it will have a lot more daylight.

Leave it alone. Plants can live thru a lot.

it will be fine, warming up today, next cold front will be 1-2 days tops, feed plant
seaweed / fish protein and potassium increase cold resistance, leaves will be replaced

Last year I put out a beefsteak April 1 and it snowed and temp was down to 31.5 according to my backyard weather station but it was my test plant and did not need the room if I pulled it big deal but no need to pull it because it was so damaged so I left it and it did not die it came back and made it the whole growing season, only difference was tomatoes were small. If I pulled it I would not have seen it come back and would not learned anything, plus it was my first of season so that’s always harder.

it will stall a bit but as long as you keep it alive until frost is out of the picture you should be good
