Nepenthes false vivipary

Very interesting false vivipary on this Nepenthes robcantleyi. I haven't heard of this occurring in nepenthes before

At first I wasnt sure if this growth would actually get bigger and become a proper growth point but it seems clear that it will. Still waiting on the first pitcher from it but the leaves are starting to get quite big! This 3rd leaf from this growth point is already around 3/4th the size of the leaves from its other normal growth points

Im also very curious to see what happens to this growth after the flower stalk completes and starts to die. I'm hoping the plant will keep the stalk alive to where the growth is coming out
