I am currently a rising junior SA at a BB (BAML, JPM, Citi), but I have finished recruiting for next summer and received an offer from an EB (MC, LAZ). I am looking for any advice to break the news to the firm I'm summering w/, bc they have been super nice throughout the whole process and are expecting me to return next summer. Any advice would be great!

You are under no obligation to accept any offer they give you. If/when they give you a return offer, wait until the second to last day you have to decide and then tell them you got an offer elsewhere.
Do not give the slightest indication that you don't intend to return if given the opportunity until the internship is over and you have secured the offer. Interns and employees leave all the time, I promise you that they won't care as much as you think.
