Your plant doesn't really need "saving". Tomatoes form flower trusses at intervals all the way up the main stem.
I think yours have formed flowers early because they were in small pots for too long. You can cut this first truss off if you wish, but do keep an eye on the plants as they grow to make sure they don't get potbound again.
They will need putting into their final large pots when the roots have filled the present ones, and you may need to give them some form of support before then.
