Tobi, that looks like a failed keiki. Well, a bloom spike with roots, or a keiki without leaves. No doubt you can see the problem if you imagine removing the keiki and trying to grow it. Without leaves, even if you remove the spike from the keiki to reduce the drain from the flowers, you would just have a ball of roots, and would have to hope for a new growth very soon from the keiki.

Now looking at the base of the plant, it looks like the mother cane is isolated from the growing center by some very odd bits of old growths. Am I right, or is that cane really attached at the base to the tall, green, and clearly alive canes? I would consider, if the cane is truly isolated, cutting the cane at the base after the blooming is done, removing the two lowest leaves, and potting this thing up with the cane sticking out the bottom of the pot, and the mix brought up to the level of the base of the leafless keiki. This would let the remaining leaves of that cane be the leaves of the new plant, with the keiki providing the new growth next year. But, this is only if the cane is not really closely attached to the other two green growths. Otherwise, 3 canes is a nice size for a Den.
