V50 - What happens if I fail the February bar?

Using my legal throwaway to post because this situation is pretty specific/identifying. As the title suggests, I'm at a V50 firm in a major market, and I'm going to be sitting for the February bar exam in three days. I was unable to take the July bar, but my firm kept me on as law clerk at a reduced salary in the meantime, with the expectation that I would take (and pass) the February bar. I will be elevated to the standard "associate pending bar admission" after I sit for the exam. I graduated from a T14 with a median GPA, if that matters at all.

My question then is, what happens if I fail? I'm in a fairly niche transactional practice area, there's plenty of work to go around, I've been doing substantively first-year associate work already, and my primary partner likes me, so that all points to a possibility of them keeping me on, but if I failed I would be going almost a full year without a bar admission. I assume I would be effectively treated as having failed the bar exam twice... That just seems unacceptable in BigLaw. Furthermore, IF they ask me to leave, what are my chances of working in a clerk-type role at a mid/small law firm for a year (I likely have such an opportunity available), and coming back to BigLaw if I wanted to?

Yes, I have studied, I've done well on practice exams, and I am not convinced I'm going to fail or anything, but I just want to know what my options would look like in a worst-case scenario, limited as they may be. If anyone has any experiences even remotely similar to this, or has seen someone fail the February bar and what happened to them, I'd very much appreciate hearing them.

Thanks.
