Could be ugly. Shine a flashlight in the differential. Do you see the splines or do you see gear teeth?

Re: connecting the driveshafts
Your spider gears have dislodged. You MIGHT be able to realign them, but I'm not betting on it. You'll have to disassemble the tranny and realign them. I'd recommend plugging them next time too. Disassembling the tranny isnt too hard if you take it really slow, do things methodically, and have an impact gun with a 32mm and 20mm socket for the 2 main shafts [not sure on that 20mm, but I'll check if you need me to.]
