‘Suits’ Season 5 Episode Still Hides Mike Ross’ Snitch; Identity Out In Later Episodes

With "Suits" season 5 episode 11 set to air in a couple of days, fans may be quite disappointed to know that they will still not know who turned in Mike Ross.

Merrill Barr of Forbes insisted, however, it is not a bad thing. Reportedly, he saw show's decision to steer away from that plot as "impressive."

"What's more impressive about the premiere is how little it focuses on the biggest question there is to answer: who turned Mike in?" Barr wrote in his "Suits" season 5 episode 11 review.

"Of course there's lip service paid to the idea that will surely be fleshed out in episodes to come, but the plot-line is mostly pushed into the background until the characters can get a handle on other, more pressing matters that need to be dealt with first."

What are these "more pressing matters?" Barr said this will be answered episode by episode.

He also wrote that the remaining weeks will be like a six-part movie with many changes on the scenery, tones, and other technical aspects applied by the show.

Previous "Suits" season 5 spoilers claimed the person who revealed Mike's fraudulent activity is someone who even executive producer Aaron Korsh would not suspect.

"You will find out who outed Mike in the remaining six episodes of the season - and it's a person that executive producer Aaron Korsh did not always have in mind," TV Guide wrote two weeks ago, following it up with a quote from the EP.

In a Twitter Q&A, Korsh also narrowed down the choices for possible suspect.

"@omarsayedzada Who ratted on Mike Ross give me a hint @akorsh9" It wasn't one of our main six. How's that?

Main characters who know about Mike's real identity are Harvey Spectre, Jessica Pearson, Donna, Louis and his girlfriend Rachel. So who could it be?

"Suits" season 5 episode 11 will air on Jan. 27.
