The Dragon in question is kitted for 3. There’s also an emergency evac capsule (Still a Soyuz I think EDIT: Yes, Soyuz MS-25!). But that’s only another 2-3 and having US astronauts brought back by Roscosmos would be…embarassing.
Have them touch down and recovered by a Russian crew, give them a massive welcome home and “mission accomplished” parade in Moscow before returning them to the U.S.
