Nothing.

Do they just pass it or do they die?

Try to give them a warm bath up to their vent. Put mineral oil in the water, also try to insert some into the vent. Try massaging where you feel the egg to see if it will loosen. As a last resort try to break egg and see if she can pass it, start her on an antibiotic such as penicillin.
