Left window cracked open last night accidentally and it rained..
Sad morning for me, the passenger interior was soaked. Oh well, it's just some water. Think it will do anything to my seats?

Moisturize them (seriously) . . .
Couple of years ago, I accidentally knocked a container of water out of the cup holder. Spilled water all over the back seats, and didn't realize it at the time. When I discovered it later, the leather where the water soaked in had become kind of stiff. That's why I would recommend using a good leather cleaner/conditioner on your seat as soon as it dries out (and maybe before). The other concern I might have would be the possibility of mold developing in the carpet. Maybe a professional carpet cleaning by a detailer (I'm thinking steam heat to kill any mold spores)? I wonder if there are any large size desicant packages around--you know, like those little pouches that come with stuff you buy to keep it dry. At any rate, good luck.

I've done this quite a few times >>
They will be fine. Just dry the seats off and hit 'em with some leather cleaner/conditioner. If there is any spotting from the water it will go away.

I assume you don't have a garage...
You'll want to make sure the foam is mostly dry before you grease them up, which means just leaving both doors open in a relatively dry environment, before you apply a leather treatment
At least, from having many years of hiking boots, that's how I'd treat them. Moisturize them while they're still wet and you invite more rot than letting the substrate dry first.
