check the dates on the tires. if they all have the same date then they are all part of the same batch and you should get them all replaced. but for now i think just that one tire should be replaced.
i'd check the other 4 and make sure there are no marks or bulges on them either.
glad you are ok.

I went out to look at them this morning, and didn't notice anything. I was mostly checking to see if they had the same DOT number (which they did). I'm gonna take a look a little closer this afternoon to see if I see any bulges. Discount tire isn't open today, so I'm gonna go tomorrow

tell me about it, when we took it in to put more air in it, the guy yelled BACK UP, ITS GONNA BLOW!!!!! I high tailed it out of there and it sounded like a bomb. On the road, it went from having air in it, to NO air in about 15 seconds

Unfortunately, there's also a high probability that this tire became seperated when you drove on it flat, and that's what caused the sidewall to burst when the tech aired it up. Without being able to see the liner of the tire, I can't tell you for sure, but the guys at Discount will be able to.
I would also suggest checking your valves (TPMS sensors). It is possible that this tire had a slow leak caused by improper seating of the valve. The rule is that any time the sensor is uninstalled and reinstalled in a new wheel, a sensor rebuild kit should be used (new grommet). I doubt that the dealer gave you new grommets, as they probably just installed the sensors straight out of the OE wheels. Be sure to check all of your valves with a little soapy water to be sure that they don't have any issues!
