What happened?

Possibly a dumb question but I can't get my head round it.
The other night my back wheel took a hard hit that resulted in a puncture caused by a spoke
The spoke is bent lower down but I dont get how the thread is now visible and apparently unscathed? the nipple seems to grip it well so it doesn't look like its been ripped apart. Is this the norm?
I want to have a go at replacing the spokes myself but there is a bike shop round the corner and it's cheap.

Looks like you have stripped the threads on the nipple as it is way off the spoke. Also the rimm could be bent."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
