This is from a kids' play named "Shrek". In this scene Shrek saved Donkey from the soldiers who were chasing him in the woods, so Donkey is begging Shrek to be friends and join forces because he is afraid that Lord Farquaad might send more troops to capture all the fairy-tale creatures. I'm familiar with the term "Stepford wife", but I can't understand what "going Stepford" means in this context. Is it "will be ruined" or something like that? Or does it mean that the authorities will be every where? Here is the context:

"Man, this place is going Stepford!. We gotta join forces! Otherwise they'll lock me up, and I cannot go back in a cage! I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I did six years in solitary for impersonating a piñata."
