You would hope so, since it’s an all-in-one craft.

The booster and capsule separate. Booster landing doesn't affect the crew capsule.

You’re talking about New Shepherd, correct?

I thought the suborbital joy flight was a single stage.

Yes. The capsule separates right after MECO. If you watch the streams you can see that the booster lands first followed by the capsule a few minutes later under parachute.
