Mia Wallace's drug overdose leads to one of the tensest sequences in Pulp Fiction. But what did she snort to cause the fateful situation?
Uma Thurman’s Pulp Fiction character, Mia Wallace, almost dies after snorting an illicit white powder she finds in Vincent Vega’s jacket pocket, but she’s not taking the drug she thinks she is. Quentin Tarantino followed up his acclaimed debut feature, Reservoir Dogs, with an even more twisted, even more ambitious crime caper as his second movie, Pulp Fiction. Like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is an inventive narrative experiment.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY When mob hitman Vincent is tasked with taking the boss’s wife, Mia, out to dinner, it seems like the biggest conflict of the story will be ignoring the romantic tension Vincent shares with Mia. But the night takes a much darker turn when he returns from the bathroom to find her unconscious on the floor with blood streaming out of her nose. This escalates into perhaps the most stressful situation of Vincent’s life.
Unfortunately for Mia, the powder she finds in Vincent’s jacket isn’t cocaine; it’s heroin. Vincent is shown purchasing the heroin in an earlier scene and using some of it on his way to pick up Mia. Cocaine and heroin are practically indistinguishable in powder form, so Mia’s mix-up is an easy mistake to make. Since heroin has a high overdose potential , Mia takes what she thinks is a manageable bit of her favorite drug and unwittingly takes too much heroin.
How Does Mia Survive The Overdose? After finding Mia overdosed and unconscious on the floor, Vincent races to the home of Lance . Lance tells him to take her to a hospital, but when he finds out she’s the wife of a notorious local crime lord, he reluctantly agrees to help. Although he owns an adrenaline shot, Lance has never administered one, so he takes Vincent through the steps in his little black medical book.
