Swift-从ViewController Segue到UITabBarController页面

Question

I have a UITabViewController in my app. On the third ViewController of the UITabViewController , the user is able to go to a separate ViewController outside of the UITabViewController . But, when they segue back, the UITabView bar doesn't show. So, I made a segue back to the UITabViewController but now it just goes to the first page of the UITabViewController instead of the 3rd. I have a prepareForSegue() on the separate ViewController file telling it to go to the 3rd page but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is my code:

func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    if(segue.identifier == "tabBarShow"){
        if let tabVC = segue.destination as? UITabBarController {
            tabVC.selectedIndex = 2
            let tabBarController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "TabBarC‌​ontroller") as! UITabBarController
            tabBarController.selectedViewController = tabBarController.viewControllers![2]
        }
    }
}

Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!!

Cheers, Theo

Have you tried:

@IBAction func backTouched(sender: AnyObject) {
        dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

linking that up in the controller you want to dismiss? Or using the func unWindToSegue(segue: ...) method?
