What do the directions to make a hole (MH) in this pattern mean?

In the Odyssey Shawl pattern by Joji Locatelli the directions for row 5 of the lace band asks you to make a hole (MH). The directions to make a hole are: With the left needle, from the front, lift up the bar in-between stitches, knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over into that bar.
My question is: what do I do with the bar after I have done the knit and yarn over three times into it? Do I just let it drop back in without doing anything else with it? Or am I supposed to knit it as part of the knit five which follows the MH?
