"The last" definitely suggests that only one O6 remains. (Or does it?*)
And since Sun is clearly an O6, that suggests that Michael is not, and
also suggests that Aaron is. And the "and some returns" suggests
Michael and... who else? There's a plural there.
For now, I'm going to assume that the promo people are bad writers
and/or wrong.
* If you're talking about the remaining, say, ten people of some
school's Class of 1935, you might refer to "the last of the class of
'35," in which case "the last" refers to more than one person. But if
that's the case and it's Michael, who are the "some returns"?
Curiouser and curiouser...
