How do these eggs look?

Hi, my pair of Leopard Geckos bred for the first time and she laid 2 eggs last week. I have them in an incubator at about 85 degrees. They are in a tupperware container with moist perlite in it.

I've never had eggs before so I'm not totally sure if they are fertile or not. In the picture, the left one looks pretty bad. It's kind of swelled up and it was like a bluish color when laid. The right one has stayed about the same size in the last week.

In my opinion it looks like the left one is infertile. The container is starting to develop a smell and I think its coming from that left egg. I'd like to throw it out so that it doesn't get any bacteria or anything in there to contaminate the right egg. What do you think? Thanks!
