You could get away with replacing only (1) if there was only (1) bad and you knew which one?
Try it in one side and see if the car runs better, if not, try it in the other side. It will take a few miles of driving for the car to relearn so if it still runs a little strange at the beginning - don't immediately think that you replaced the wrong one.
But if it was me - I'd replace them both...

Use a code scanner and find out what it is. Bank 1 is the driver side, Bank 2 is the passenger side. The code will not reset itself that quickly. Use the scanner to erase the code after replacing the bad O2.
