I think Nick dating Courtney had a lot do to with the relationship between the twins. He baited Courtney(pretending to be Ali) by saying that he'd blown her off when they were younger. Of course this sparked Courtney(pretending to be Ali)'s interest because she had resolved to be a better Ali than even Ali was. If she could make a guy love her that didn't like her sister, she was playing Ali better than Ali could. That is, assuming Nick really is Tripp, Real Ali's boyfriend from the Preserve. Of course, Real Ali would know this is how Courtney would respond, so it fell together just like she planned for it.
