I'd like to point out that the following M-W definition suits chase's usage just fine:

Main Entry: nonplus
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): non·plussed also non·plused /-'pl&st/; non·plus·sing also non·plus·ing /-'pl&-si[ng]/
: to cause to be at a loss as to what to say, think, or do :
