How can I transition back to a VC from a navigation controller?

Question

I have a baseVC and a navigation controller.

The navigation controller has a bar button item, which i gave a segue to go back to the BaseVC.

Unfortunately when I press the done button to return to the BaseVC (the initial state from which I went to the navigation controller), the baseVC ends up having the top look as if I went to the extra options navigationVC (a VC which shows more info on content in cells in the main navigation controller)

How can I prevent this?

This is done on the interface builder.

Update:

I have found that my issue is related to this one...

You need to use an unwind segue. It sounds like you are pushing a new instance of the basevc onto the navigation stack — Paulw11, Jul 13 '19 at 09:05

The baseVC is not embedded in the navigation controller so this did not work. – Jul 13 '19 at 18:47
