42 Days with no discernable growing tip

Labradors2 · April 30, 2014

My 42 Days seedling is very odd. It wasn't a helmet head, but grew as if it had been one, with its cotyledons all curled. A tiny "shoot" came out sideways, and I thought that was the growing tip, but it grew into a leaflet so there doesn't seem to be a growing tip (or central leader, I don't know the terminology in tomatoes!)

I took several pictures, but sadly I couldn't get one in focus.

Has anyone come across this and do you think anything will happen, or is this a dud? I've heard that patience is a virtue and I know that I will find out eventually, but just thought I would ask.
