There are any number of models that are consistent with the observed behavior. Only some of them require things to happen "instantaneously".

The accurate way to describe entanglement is probably that the entangled systems will never be observed to be in an incompatible state.



My favorite head-canon is that measurement of one particle determines the other's state at the time of entanglement. As in, the measurement changes the past, or sets the universe on a worldline compatible with the entangled pair's state.
