For the spike that only lost the flower, just let it continue on it merry little way.

For the spike that broke, as Ray said the part beyond the break will perish. Cut the spike just below the break and treat with a little cinnamon to seal. If there are any buds below the cut they should continue to open. If not, if there is a node below the cut it MAY send out a second spike from that location.

Good luck.
