No True Leaves; A Tragic State?

My grow is moving along splendidly, out of 40-some plantings only 5 failed to germinate, and I'm already whelmed by Red Solo Cups.
 
My tale of woe comes of a Numex Big Jim planted March 1st with all my other kids. All but the most recent sprouts (Rocotos, go figure!) have true leaves emerging. But not this one. The cotylidons are very healthy and vibrant, but it's not even showing a node, much less a leaf..

I only planted three this year, usually I grow 20 or more Anaheim types, but my palate has grown...These are the siblings of the poor anomaly above:

What's a poor mother to do....?
 
 
 
     I've seen that before. Sometimes the meristem gets damaged and the plant has no where to push new growth. The cotyledons might get a little bigger, but the plant will never mature.

Well that is truly sad, I must say.

I feel I must plant another, unless I grow the huevos to attempt separating the multi-sprout and repot...
