It's one of those times I wish I could speak Eaglish...
Egg#2 is 49+ days old, it is not expected to hatch at this point.

It appears as though egg#2 has a small hole first seen on 3/29 (could also be a smudge or debris), no progress in the size of the hole. It could be the shell has weakened and cracked. It is possible from J&S's weight or rolling the egg, we may see more breaking of the shell over time. It is also possible there is a chick inside; however, it is highly unlikely there is any life.

What happens next you may ask?
Jackie and Shadow will continue to take care of the egg for a few more days/weeks. Eventually, their hormones will tell them that is it time to move forward. At that time, they will begin leaving the nest unattended for periods of time, giving the opportunity for scavengers to fulfill their role.
There is also a small chance that the egg may break. In that case, the eagles may consume its contents. In nature, nothing goes to waste.
