Black spots on phal leaves

This is the first I've heard of a terminal spike on a phal. How does one recognize it, and will the plant definitely never bloom again?

A terminal spike is one which comes out the center of the leaves, where you would usually get new leaves.

On a Phal it signals that the Phal will stop growing new leaves after it has gone and will not bloom again.

If you can get a keiki from the spike you can grow a new Phal to replace it.
