Midnight Snack

The other night someone didn't secure one of the screen panels in Rick's "tent" bed.  So about midnight he climbed out of bed, put his slippers on, and walked out of his room to the nurse's station, in the center area of the floor he is on.

The staff keeps a small refrigerator behind them stocked with cold food and drinks for themselves, patients and their families.  Rick walked right behind the desk, opened the fridge and helped himself to an ice cream cone!!  He took it back to his room and after eating it, went back to bed.

He had never been shown the fridge or told that he could have food from it.  The staff always brought it to him.  At one point, as he walking  the halls, he must have seen someone open the fridge.
