No Return Offer - PE Recruiting

I did not receive a FT return offer to my junior summer firm, but I re-recruited and landed a comparable offer. During the on-cycle PE recruiting process, how should I disclose this information if head hunters/PE firms ask? Is it likely that they ask (they'll see my resume has two firms). 

 

Simply just don’t disclose it. I highly doubt that’ll come up and if it does just say you were wanted to switch banks for FT because of x and y? I got a return offer from my SA but FT’d at a different bank. I think I was asked maybe once? No one cares where you interned once you are FT
