The plant in your hand is not a sarracenia, it is a weed of some sort that germinated in with your sarracenia even though it looks like it is growing directly from your sarracenia.

Uhm,
easy to solve! ...if you haven't already.
Gently uproot it and you will see that it is NOT part of the Sarracenia. This is normal for weeds to grow intermingled with other plants, roots inter-twined and everything! The nature of seed is to get trapped, washed against a plant and then germinates.
To offer a tip, get the thing out of there, as it will only get bigger and then really send roots out all over!
Removing it will not hurt the pitcher plant, however assuming you may not be real experienced with plants, feel free to PM me about how to re-pot plants safely. While quite resilient, you do still want to be careful when removing the weed or re-potting the plant.
And I have frequently seen this weed in CP's, comes in on LFS or peat, or the plants themselves.
Good luck.

Hi,
I agree with mesaman and spagman that is NOT a sarracenia. I'm by no means an expert but that is not a sarracenia. That's a very common bog weed I have a few growing in my sarracenia. I'd do what spagman suggested because it's not very attractive and it will probally will spread through your collection.
I looked online It's kind of bog hair grass called DESCHAMPSIA SETACEA.

It's a species of Juncus (also known as rushes).
I couldn't tell you what species - we have totally different species here in Australia, but it is undoubtedly a Juncus
And yes, you should pull it out

Don't you hate it when someone asks for an opinion or for help, and then wants to tell you, that you are wrong.

If your Juncus sets seed, it will be in all your pots.
