It was all a dream (aka alternate time line).

None of what we had invested in emotionally for decades really happened.

What moron wrote that #@$% anyways?

Edit to add: I think they should do a series on the alternate universe (dark universe) where Spock had a beard. They used it in "Enterprise" and even more in "Deep Space Nine". I think that after the new movie screwed the pooch that this is the only thing anyone could get into now. I really liked what they did with it in "Enterprise". IMO those were the among the best episodes of that series.
