Speaking from my various readings of other people's experiences, the stem will not grow back. Also, the flower stalk planted in the soil will probably not strike since it was far in its development.

I would make sure that your VFT gets lots of sunlight since it spent a lot of energy making the flower stalk. If you do, then everything should be OK.

Nick's got it right. The flower stalk won't grow back and it's not likely that you will get another plant from it, but you should still try.
