The "one" at the last, shouldn't it be a plural form? What does "one" refer to?

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"This one" is referring to the current one (week, month, or year), which can only be one in number. You cannot be in two different weeks, months, or years at the same time, so the speaker has used the singular form for "one."
