Mia Wallace’s overdose in Pulp Fiction is resolved in the following way:
1. Her accidental overdose
- Mia snorts what she believes is cocaine, but it’s actually heroin that Vincent left in his jacket pocket. She miscarries the powder and soon becomes unresponsive, suffering a life-threatening heroin overdose.
- Vincent discovers her collapsed and panicking, he drives her to the house of his drug dealer, Lance.
2. The revival with adrenaline
- At Lance’s house, they obtain a syringe filled with adrenaline. Vincent injects Mia directly in the chest into her heart in a dramatic, "stabbed" shot to revive her.
- She wakes up gasping for breath, coughing, and then gradually recovers.
3. Aftermath and agreement
- Once Mia is conscious and stable, she and Vincent agree to never tell her husband, Marsellus Wallace, about the overdose—knowing how much trouble it would cause both of them.
- Mia then shares a light-hearted joke with Vincent, bringing back some normalcy after the terrifying incident.
If you want, I can break down how that scene plays into the bigger themes of choice, redemption, or danger in the film.
