Personally I think telling it at her friends point of view was the better option. I believe the episode AJ was lying, and was in her moment of weakness. Lying, of course, distorts the truth and hides what we have the right to know. By telling the story through AJ's friends point of view, we would know the truth.

True, we might have an interesting story in which we see how lies crush the one who fabricates, but instead we see the frustration and the feeling of betrayal by telling the story through the friends' point of view. This creates somewhat frustration and perhaps even a lack of sympathy for AJ, which would've been continuously dragged out were the story to have been in AJ's point of view. Instead it is released by the floodgates when the truth is revealed, and everyone, audience and characters, finally understand AJ's troubles.

But that's just my two cents on the matter.
