A theory I heard on why Dairy Queen froze Marianilla specifically is because of how she seemed to be protective of Elsa due to Elsa having magic.

The person thought that Dairy would be protective of anyone with magic (Emma, Regina, Anastasia, etc.) and that being a Storybrooke citizen, she would've known Regina had redeemed herself time and again and would've been rooting for Regina's happy ending.

Marian coming back would've ruined that, and with Elsa back in town she thought she could finally get a free pass to do whatever she wanted and everyone would think it was Elsa who did whatever it is that she plans to do... So she decided to kill two birds with one cone. Frame Elsa and remove Regina's one obstacle to a happy ending.
