Let it keep going or...?

Hello from Boston!

I've always loved to be an orchid non-killer. Many many years ago I got my first phal and I think it suffered crown rot... don't quite remember what happened to her. The second one was gifted by my ex. When we broke up, I threw it away... people do irrational things.

I picked up my third phal from Wholefoods around 1.5 months ago. I guess the car ride from the supermarket to home was too much for her and the poor thing suffered bud blast. I literally watched them all shriveled up on the way home...

It is what it is...

About 3 weeks ago I noticed that a node started swelling! That was exciting. Then I had to go on a trip the following week. When I came back I couldn't believe what I saw - the node turned into a spike, and the tips of the old spikes have become longer with more smaller buds and swollen!

What should I do now?

The first photo is when I first saw the extending node. The rest show her current state.
