Punched!Chase

I am currently at ss3, and I have finished two more episodes after the episode in which House punched Chase in his face. I feel like Chase seems to cower into himself and is no longer a lowkey funny, rebellious and easygoing guy anymore; he seems sad and more cautious. This makes me miserable, and I lost my appetite for the show. Can anyone tell me when Chase will "recover" from this? He is my poor bb gurl, he is sad, so I am 🥲
