Ok, the description tells us to form a vignere key (Blaise Vignere...) from the names of the week's solutions and to apply it to the letters on the spear. Straightforward solve:
Decoded letters from spear:
MPFYQOUWAFQPWY
Names from week:
Milton Hershey
Cornelius Vanderbilt
Diana Spencer
Ganesh Dutt
Clara Brown
