Still, infecting the predators was her idea and putting Judy on the case was the first sign of her plans falling apart. It wasn't until she had helped Judy free the predators that were locked up, which was actually what Dawn had intended to do. So this kills the suspension of disbelief. The doctors would have eventually discovered the serum in their bloodstreams despite Judy figuring it out later. So she was doomed both ways.

What I'm saying is that she could have darted Lionheart anytime she had wanted and that would have made things easier for her. Even if she had set the stage for it, the predators being carried to the hospital was going to derail her plans anyway.

At the end, she could have just escaped after darting Nick to 'kill' Judy but she didn't. This is where it all came to a bust. She had the evidence right in her hand with the lab that crashed at the location and her henchmen buy her side. She was going down one way or the other.

Finally, if she really wanted to have Nick kill Judy, why didn't the serum do it with the other 14 predators? Remember, Dawn said that the serum was made to cause fear into the hearts of prey animals and infect the predators. Even after she was foiled, she could have killed them with a lethal weapon and just fled the scene without any witnesses. She didn't do that. Instead, she wanted to frame them, even though she had nothing to incriminate Judy with.

Don't you see? All in all, she may have evidently planned her own downfall and wanted to be arrested. Perhaps deep down she feels terrible for what she did and still cares for eevryone. I guess it was because she was tired of putting up with Lionheart all these years. Now that she's in jail, there's no telling what's going to Zootopia now.

I wish a sequel gives us a better insight to her motives and have Judy and Nick console, empathize and reform her due to their similar backstories and statures.
