There was no change of directors. Every anime has episode directors (enshutsu) that are in charge of handling entire episodes. Some enshutsu are more involved in the series and do many episodes, but a lot of times it's a "guest star" situation where someone respected by the director or the producers comes and does an episode.

Shigeyasu Yamauchi (Crasshern Sins) handled this episode, and Ishihama (the director of the series) let him do whatever he pleased, without putting any restraint on him. Or so it seems.
That's why the episode was so different, Yamauchi went overboard.

I don't think we will see him again in SSY, since he doesn't seem to be close to the series and he doesn't normally do more than one episode of a show.
