Navigating junior year recruiting with sophomore summer BB offer

Hi everyone. With such an early start to junior year Investment Banking recruiting, I'm in a somewhat unique position and would really appreciate any insights you could give me. I was fortunate enough to secure a sophomore summer investment banking internship at a mid tier BB (through their diversity program). Assuming I will probably get a return offer from the bank, do you think I should still go through with recruiting for junior year? Will other banks see this internship as a plus or will they assume I'll accept the return offer, and so will not accept a position at another bank? Ideally, I would want to work at a top tier BB in the future. I'm worried about this because during my interview with the BB, the VP really stressed the fact that they expect me to return in my junior year and then FT. How would you suggest I navigate the recruiting proces in this situation? I am aware that this isnt the worst problem to have. I'm just really worried that banks will talk and that the bank im interning at for my sophomore summer will end up rescinding their offer, and the banks im recruiting at will think I lack commitment, ultimately leaving me without a job.
