Accessing a property of a pointer in a struct - c++

Question

First of I have 2 Classes in 2 files (both .h and .cpp files), Create.h and AI.h.
Create.h has this struct in it:
public:
struct Cell
{
int row;
int column;
vector<Cell*> neighbors;
State state;
};
Here is the enum class State (stored in the Create.h file):
enum class State : char
{
visited,
empty
};
In AI.h I have a stack and a Create object like this:
private:
deque<Create::Cell*> path;
Create obj;
In AI.cpp there is an instance called obj which contains a 2D array of Cell where every Cell has row, column, state and neighbors set appropriately.
Constructor:
AI::AI(Create createObj)
: obj(createObj)
{
start = &obj.array[1][1];
}
I also have a function like this which starts with start as an argument:
void AI::Function(Create::Cell* cell)
{
path.push_back(cell);
cell->state = State::visited;
while (expression)
{
cell = path.back();
cell->state = State::visited;
for (int i = 0; i < cell->neighbors.size(); i++)
{
if (cell->neighbors[i]->state == State::empty)
{
path.push_back(cell->neighbors[i]);
}
}
}
}
So basically the cell in the path stack starts by pointing to the obj.array[1][1] and sets it correctly (I have confirmed that it actually points where I want it to) but when I retrieve a cell from the stack it doesn't point to the obj.array.
What I am trying to do is to set the state of the neighbors of each cell but I manage to set the state on the path stack, on the cell itself but NOT on the array inside the obj instance.
What I definitely can do and it works is set the obj.array[i][j] under the cell like this:
cell = path.back();
cell->state = State::visited;
obj.array[cell->row][cell->column].state = State::visited;
What I wanted to know is if there is a way (through pointers I presume) to make the obj.array Cell element know that it's being set by the cell->state = State::visited;
