Hey :) Kat played her idol at the Nicky vote. At that time, it was split five (Erika, Emily, Nicky, Dana, and Joe, who rejoined the alliance again during the Jennifer vote) and three (Kat, Summer, and Cole). The five Aruro people voted for Kat, and the three Rema people voted for Nicky. Kat played her idol on herself, negating those five votes for her and sending Nicky home. Nicky going home was what caused Dana to flip on her alliance and send Emily home the following vote.
