Ezra killed Summer because he was afraid Summer would find out he was a fraud. Ezra thought Summer might find out about his past through Kingston Barrett, one of Summer's patients. Kingston and Ezra served in the military together, but back then, Ezra went by the name Nolan McPherson. If Kingston doesn't know that Ezra is Nolan (and vice-versa), how would Kingston "expose" Ezra's past?
Kingston knows Ezra as Nolan McPherson, so how would Summer find out about Ezra's past through Kingston? Read Kingston's therapy notes carefully — what kind of therapy was he doing with Summer?
Hint #1
Read the Prolonged Exposure Therapy Guide carefully.
Hint #2
The Case Conference emails show that Ezra knew Summer's patient was Kingston Barrett. After the case conference, Summer emailed the Prolonged Exposure Therapy Guide to Ezra and Jessica, so Ezra knew the timeline Summer was using for Kingston's therapy. Ezra knew he had to stop Summer and Kingston from getting to Week 6, where Kingston would be asked to bring in a photograph of his military friends. Ezra knew that Kingston would likely bring in a photo with Nolan McPherson (i.e. Ezra). This would expose Ezra, because Ezra says he attended medical school from 2004 to 2008, but Kingston told Summer that Nolan (i.e. Ezra) was in the military from 2006 to 2008. Ezra knew that Kingston's 6th session would be on September 16th, 2019, because he knew when Kingston's first session was (from the case conference emails), and he knew Summer's schedule. So, Ezra knew that he had to kill Summer before September 16th, 2019.
The Case Conference emails and Prolonged Exposure Therapy guide show Ezra timed Summer's murder to prevent her from having a 6th session with Kingston and finding out that he (Ezra) is a fraud.
Hint #3
Step 5 (Week 6) of the Prolonged Exposure Therapy Guide is "Photograph Exposure". One of week 6's tasks is to "encourage the veteran to bring in photographs related to their military experience, such as pictures of military friends in uniform or deployment locations".
We can assume that there's a strong chance that Kingston would have brought in a picture that included his best friend Nolan (aka Ezra). When would Kingston's 6th session have been, and how would Ezra have known?
Hint #4
Read the Case Conference emails and look at Summer's patient schedule.
Hint #5/Answer
