One day, she called upon Wallace and Gromit to wash the windows of her shop. Wallace fell in live with Wendolene.
After Gromit is arrested for sheep rustling, Wendolene comes to Wallace's home and asks him to stay away from her shop, stating that she's no good for him and says that she is sorry about Gromit.
