Going into interviews with a BB with a boutique offer

Hello,

I am in kind of a unique situation. I accepted an offer with a boutique 1 month ago due to not having anything lined up. My previous internship i worked in the MO at a bb and networked like crazy with the FO people in the firm and expressed my interest clearly. I just received an email from them asking me if I want to interview for a summer internship. Now I would 100% want to work for this firm more than the boutique I accepted; however, I used two employees their as references for the boutique (my old manager and one from the FO). I am afraid of them finding out and this backfiring on me if I interview with them. Is it not worth the risk knowing that some of them know I have an offer lined up? How bad would it look if they found out?

Thanks
