"You wonder, how you ended up trapped in that urn?. It was your sister.... Anna put you there"

"Your lying"

"Am I? Look at the people in this town, they are ready to burn you at the stake"

"Because of what you did! You hurt one of them"

"You mean that woman..... Marian? It was an accident"

"No it wasn't! You wanted them to think it was me, to blame me. Why?"

"I was trying to teach you a lesson. Eventually everyone turns on people like us. Even friends, even family. They're just waiting for a reason!"

Ingrid wanted Elsa and Emma to herself. Without interference. So she froze "Marian" to plant the first seed of mistrust and suspicion upon Elsa.

If Ingrid just wanted to freeze anyone she could have easily done it to some random off screen person. Or even Leroy! Why "Marian" an innocent woman she's never met before?

Ingrid WAS in SB during 3B and earlier. So she was well aware of Zelena and her manic plan. A plan that would have really threatened her perfect "family". So she took out the witch.

Just re-watch the opening scene from 4x03. The way Ingrid behaves around "Marian" is not just a meeting between two women who have never met before.
