The bay leaf is something you have in your work - a scene, or a description, or a character that you're attached to - but eventually you realise you have to take it out. You think, 'I really love this scene, and I don't want to remove it, but I don't need it any more. It's not working.' That's fine. It served its purpose - it helped you get to this point, and now you can let it go. It's the bay leaf.
