I don't think poor Joe has enough neurons left firing to go on a power trip. This is "Doctor" Jill and Hunter going on a power trip.
Although to be fair Hunter is probably just terrified that if the old man goes down the lid is going to really fly off on all his shady dealings. He's in cornered rat mode.
The thing with dementia is that the person has increasing periods where they're, well, an unfiltered themselves. So, Joe, who was always a slimy little Peter Principled car salesman, is just being himself, but unfiltered demented himself.
I think the lack of neurons firing is precisely why he will go on a power trip.
He no longer has the capability to maintain long term planning, double speech, or be properly puppeted.
Inside that rattled mind is the remains of an arrogant man who considers himself above consequences, and he won't remain loyal to any one of his handlers or puppetmasters if they push his buttons at the wrong moment by trying to toss him aside.
