nothing.
its ok if you only do it once. your car may run funny untill its replaced with gas. Your car is probably going to stumble and sputter, thats about it. I think it makes your o2 sensor think its running really lean, so the computer is going to dump a bunch of fuel in.
Dont make a habit of running e85 though, you need to have stainless steel fuel system or its going to rust. Probably be best to run it out of there as quick as possiable.

That statement is almost as dumb as you putting E85 in the car to begin with.

E85 eats most of the rubber and plastic in your fuel system too
If you let it sit long enough, it can encourage corrosion of aluminum by eating the substrate layer off.
