Sutton and her fiancé, Richard Hunter (Sam Page), have been dealing with a long-distance relationship since Richard relocated to San Francisco for a job. After Sutton experiences mass fallout with Oliver due to her trying to become a stylist and influencer, she decides she and Richard should just get married right away so she can move out to San Francisco to be with him.
Thinking she'll never move up the ranks at Scarlet, Sutton pushes the wedding forward, but after Oliver convinces Jacqueline to create a stylist position just for Sutton at Scarlet, Sutton's torn on what to do. She and Richard have a heart-to-heart right before walking down the aisle, and Sutton decides she needs to stay in New York and take this job and she and Richard will continue a long-distance relationship for the foreseeable future.
