The system is a so-called soft X-ray transient system, where one compact body (in this case a 93 solar masses black hole) accretes matter from a low-mass companion star. The system is indeed a trinary system with two black holes and an F-type star. The "burst phase" of XTE J2012+381 occurs every 40ish days in which the black hole unleashes a low energy x-ray burst before falling silent again.
