Nick Caputo suspects that Carl Hubbell provided alterations on several figures throughout the story, particularly on pages 5, 10, 17 and 20, per his blog:

The episode title might be inspired by A. Tennyson’s poem Idylls of the King, The Passing of Arthur (1869): "The old order changeth, yielding place to new."
